Police warn drivers to leave barricades as-is

The Saskatoon Police Traffic Unit is asking drivers to be mindful of signage, especially barricades.

In a tweet, police said a driver moved a barricade Friday night and drove toward an active police investigation.

“We don’t put up barricades for fun,” the post read.

It’s been tough for first responders with 2 very serious collisions occurring within 12 hrs. This was made more difficult on Friday night by a driver who exited his car, moved a barricade and drove towards an active police investigation.
