A two-block stretch of Salter Street in Winnipeg’s North End was shut down to traffic for several hours after a serious crash Wednesday morning.

The street was closed in all directions between Aberdeen and Redwood avenues from just before 8 a.m. until 2 p.m.

A Duffy’s Taxi and another car, both heavily damaged with airbags deployed, were surrounded by police tape and on the boulevard of Salter and Aberdeen.

More than a dozen evidence tags also marked a large swath around the scene.
