RCMP from Moose Jaw are investigating a fatal rollover that happened Wednesday morning just outside Mortlach.
Witnesses say the 62 year old man was driving on the main road out of the village when suddenly his vehicle left the road, drove into a field, then hit an embankment and flipped.
The RCMP were called to the scene around 11:30 a.m. and STARS air ambulance was called to the scene as well.
The man was pronounced dead on scene. His family is asking that his name not be released.
The RCMP are assisting the provincial coroner as the investigation continues, but they will say neither alcohol, nor road conditions are being considered factors in the rollover.
