WINNIPEG — A pregnant woman who walked across the United States border into Manitoba was rescued after she became trapped in a snowbank and went into labour.
Emerson-Franklin Reeve Dave Carlson says the woman called 911 on Saturday morning after she walked from Minnesota and became stuck in deep snow.
Firefighters were able to free the woman and keep her warm until an ambulance arrived and took her to hospital.
