DAUPHIN, Man. - Manitoba RCMP say a woman injured in last week's crash between a minibus and a transport truck has died in hospital, bringing the death toll to 16.
Health officials say nine patients remain in hospital.
Four are in critical condition.
The bus was taking a group of seniors from Dauphin and the surrounding area on a trip to a casino Thursday, when it crashed with the semi near Carberry.
Police have said dashcam footage shows the bus was crossing the Trans-Canada Highway when it went into the path of the truck.
They said officers have not yet interviewed the bus driver as he is receiving care in hospital.
