RCMP probing three crashes on Saskatchewan roads

Two people died and four people were hospitalized after three separate crashes on Saskatchewan roads over the past four days.

On Friday at around 12:45 p.m., RCMP officers got a call about a collision between a car and a semi at the intersection of Highway 33 and a grid road at Fillmore.

The driver of the car, a 21-year-old man from Regina, was pronounced dead at the scene while a man who was a passenger in the car was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

The man driving the semi wasn’t hurt.

The second crash happened Friday at around 10:30 p.m., and involved a rollover approximately 1.6 kilometres south of Benson on Highway 47. The 27-year-old man who was driving the car was taken to hospital, where he later died.

Then, on Sunday at around 5:50 a.m., Mounties responded to a call about a two-vehicle collision in Kindersley involving a car and a truck.

The man driving the car was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, while a woman who was a passenger in that vehicle was hospitalized with what were described as critical injuries. The man who was driving the truck also was taken to hospital, but the RCMP release didn’t indicate the severity of his injuries.

RCMP collision reconstructionists are looking into all three collisions.
