2 dead after crash on Highway 14 near Biggar

Three people in five days have been killed from Biggar.

Two people died after a single-vehicle rollover Wednesday night about three kilometres east of Biggar on Highway 14.  It happened just before 10 p.m.

RCMP say the rollover involved a pickup truck with five people inside. The truck had been travelling eastbound on Highway 14 when it hit a side ditch on a curve. The driver hit a highway approach, lost control and the vehicle rolled several times.

The 20-year-old man who was driving was from Biggar. He had his seat belt on but died on the scene. A 19-year-old man who was also from Biggar was pronounced dead on scene. Three female passengers aged 20 to 21 from Biggar were taken to hospital in Saskatoon. One female is in critical condition while the other two are in stable condition.

Police are continuing to investigate the crash.

Last Saturday, a man from Biggar was killed on an ATV near the town.
