The Saskatchewan RCMP reported that as of Aug. 17, there have been 59 fatal collisions in Saskatchewan in 2026, with 72 deaths recorded.

The federal police service has expressed concern about the “significant uptick” in fatal collisions seen in Saskatchewan this year.

Insp. Lee Knelsen, an RCMP traffic services operations officer, said the police force has repeatedly seen the same four factors in many of the collisions: speed, impairment, distracted driving and seatbelts not being worn.

“These are not just numbers; they represent lives lost, and these numbers are increasing,” Knelsen warned. “We urge everyone to make safe decisions every time they get behind the wheel.”
