A Saskatoon man is charged with impaired driving causing death after a collision that left a woman dead and a man injured.
According to Saskatoon police, an Infiniti was struck on the passenger side by a Mercedes late Wednesday evening at the intersection of McKinnon Avenue South and Main Street in Saskatoon. Both vehicles were heavily damaged, police said.
The passenger of the Infiniti, a 61-year-old Saskatoon woman, was pronounced dead in hospital. The driver, a 62-year-old Saskatoon man, was also hurt in the crash, but police said his injuries weren’t life-threatening. The woman’s family has been notified.
Police allege the driver of the Mercedes, a 42-year-old Saskatoon man, was impaired. He was arrested at the scene and charged with impaired driving causing death, as well as refusing to comply with a police demand.
The man was later released from custody and will answer the charges in court next month.
