“Investigation determined that a van and SUV collided before the van hit a third vehicle,” the RCMP said in a statement.
“The driver of the van was declared deceased at the scene by EMS.”
The driver of the SUV was uninjured in the crash, the Mounties noted, while the driver of the third vehicle was hospitalized with serious injuries.
Police said the family of the man killed in the crash has been notified of his death.
Highway 3 was closed after the crash, police said, but the route has since reopened to traffic. Police said the crash remains under investigation, with help from a collision reconstruction expert.
Earlier this week, the Saskatchewan RCMP issued a statement urging drivers to use extra caution on the roads following 11 fatal collisions during the month of November.
The RCMP said the numbers for the month represent 175 per cent more fatal crashes and 37.5 per cent more fatalities than the same period in 2024. Seven of the fatal crashes – resulting in seven deaths – happened in the last week alone.
“While weather conditions may have been a factor in two of the fatal collisions this month, an astounding majority of these deaths involve the same four factors: seatbelts, speed, impairment by drug or alcohol, and distraction,” Jason Sauve, a staff sergeant with the Saskatchewan RCMP’s traffic unit, said in a statement.
“These tragic scenes leave a lasting impact on every single person who sees, hears about, or responds to them. If us repeating safety messages can help prevent us from having to respond to one fatal collision call – we will continue to share them.”
The Mounties urged all drivers to buckle up, stay within the speed limits, pay close attention to surroundings and always drive sober.
Between January 1 and Tuesday, the RCMP said Mounties have responded to a total of 89 fatal crashes on Saskatchewan’s roads and highways, resulting in 94 deaths.
