WINNIPEG -- Two SUVs crashed into a house in Sandy Lake, Man. Friday night, sending multiple people to hospital.
According to RCMP, officers received a call about an impaired driver speeding in a silver SUV with a dark coloured SUV following.
RCMP said patrols in the area immediately attempted to locate the vehicles.
About five minutes later, officers were called to a crash involving the vehicles they were searching for.
Mounties said the two SUVs were travelling northbound on Main Street at a high rate of speed when they collided. The impact caused the SUVs to swerve off the road and crash into a house, causing significant damage.
RCMP said no one was inside the home at the time of the crash.
The 25-year-old driver of the silver SUV, and one of his passengers, a 21-year-old man, were taken to hospital with serious injuries. The other passenger, a 32-year-old man, suffered minor injuries.
The 25-year-old female driver of the dark blue SUV was taken to hospital with serious injuries. Her two passengers, a 24-year-old woman and a 27-year-old man were also taken to hospital with serious injuries.
RCMP believe speed and alcohol are factors in the crash.
Yellowhead RCMP, along with a forensic collision reconstructionist, continue to investigate.
Sandy Lake is located northwest of Winnipeg, just south of Riding Mountain National Park.
