Winnipeg police officer Abinoji Mikana was taken to hospital after the crash

A major artery in Winnipeg was dealing with significant backups after a police cruiser crash that sent two officers to hospital.

Just before 3:40 p.m. Sunday, police posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the accident occurred at St. Anne's Road and Abinoji Mikana.

The crash caused the closure of eastbound Abinogjii Mikana (formerly known as Bishop Grandin Boulevard) and northbound St. Anne.

People are told to find other ways.

Winnipeg police confirmed to CTV News that one of the vehicles involved was a police cruiser and that two officers were taken to hospital in stable condition.

Both officers were released from the hospital Monday morning.

Other details are not yet known.
