WINNIPEG — Police in Winnipeg say one person has died and three more were injured after a pickup truck smashed into a bus shelter on Portage Avenue during the morning commute.

Police say those injured are in stable condition in hospital.

It began after a Ford F150 truck hit a pedestrian and bus shelter on Portage Avenue near Bedson Street before 8 a.m.

Another vehicle, a power pole and a gas station were also damaged before the truck came to a stop.

The crash forced commuters to be rerouted and knocked out power in the area for more than a thousand Manitoba Hydro customers.
