RCMP say at least 20 semis and five passenger vehicles are involved in a serious collision in western Manitoba.

After being open for a few hours the Trans-Canada Highway is once again closed in Westman due to the collision.

Reports say that the highway is extremely icy. Different stretches of the highway had been closed Wednesday before being originally reopened at 9:43 a.m.

The RCMP says that three people have been transported to hospital with injuries.

As of 1:05 p.m. the highway has been closed in both directions from Brandon to Virden.

Police expect the highway to remain closed for several hours. They are asking the public to avoid the area.
