Portage Avenue has reopened after being closed for several hours Sunday following a collision between a car and two pedestrians.

The pedestrians were taken to hospital in critical condition. One has since been upgraded to stable.

The Winnipeg Police Service had sent out a notification on social media around 8:40 a.m. Sunday advising of the closure of westbound Portage Avenue at Sturgeon Road.

The WPS says that the driver of the vehicle stayed on the scene.

The WPS is continuing to investigate.
