Man injured in second lone-vehicle crash

Earlier that evening, around 6 p.m., Regina police responded to a collision on Ring Road between Assiniboine Avenue and Wascana Parkway.

Officers learned that the driver was the only person in the vehicle and was travelling north on Ring Road when he lost control of the vehicle, which left the road, went into the ditch and hit a tree.

Several witnesses to the crash helped pull the driver from the vehicle, which started on fire shortly after.

Regina Fire and Protective Services and EMS responded to the scene first. The driver, a man, was taken by EMS to hospital for serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Police are still investigating the crash, according to a news release.
