Part of a house somehow broke apart on a highway northeast of Winnipeg on Thursday afternoon, leaving behind a pile of rubble.

The house was on a platform as it was being transported along Highway 44, just east of the Highway 59 cloverleaf, when a corner of the building became detached.

By late afternoon, a pile of wood and insulation remained near the highway.

This pile is what remains of the house after it fell apart on Highway 44 late Thursday. (Courtney Rutherford/CBC)
