On Aug. 16, 2019, Clare McBride was driving home from Dauphin around 8 p.m. when she said she was hit at the intersection of Road 147 N and Highway 362.
The crash killed her two daughters, six-year-old Oksana Dutchyshen and four-year-old Quinn Dutchyshen.
RCMP said a Ford F-150 was driving east on Road 147 when it went through the intersection of PR 362 and hit the side of a Dodge Ram driving northbound.
The two girls were taken to hospital in critical condition and later died from their injuries.
Nearly a year after the crash, Jack Winters was arrested and is facing 15 charges, including impaired driving causing death.
Family and friends of the girls gathered outside of the Dauphin Recreation Centre on Monday where the trial is taking place.
