RCMP say a 17th victim died Sunday from injuries sustained in a buscrash west of Winnipeg—a 79-year-old woman who had been in hospital since the collision just over a month ago.

Seniors from Dauphin, Man., were on a minibus taking a day trip to the Sand Hills Casino, 190 kilometres south, when the fiery crash occurred on June 15.
