Rosser Manitoba - Sections of two Manitoba highways are closed Tuesday evening after several train cars were derailed just outside Winnipeg.
 
The derailment happened just after 18:00 on the Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) line near Rosser just northwest of the city, RCMP Sgt. Paul Manaigre wrote in an email.
 
Officers at the scene believe 30 or more cars may have been derailed, although it hasn't yet been determined why, Manaigre said.
 
"No word on cause of the derailment but reports that a strong thunderstorm blew through the area at the time," he wrote.
 
There were no injuries and none of the cars were carrying dangerous goods, he added.
 
Provincial Road 221 is closed between Road 3E to PR 322 due to the derailment.
 
Provincial Road 334, from Farmer Road to PR 221, is also closed.
