Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the flag has been lowered to half-mast on the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill in honour of the victims of the deadly Manitoba crash.

Fifteen people died yesterday after a bus carrying seniors to a casino collided with a semi truck on the Trans-Canada Highway near Carberry, west of Winnipeg.

Six of 10 others injured are in hospital in critical condition.

Trudeau says there are lots of questions right now, but mostly there are lots of tears and Canadians will be there for each other.

He says he can't imagine what families are going through as they await word on the fate of loved ones.
