On Nov. 18 at 8:30 a.m. officers from the Milestone RCMP detachment, Yellowgrass Fire Department and Weyburn EMS attended to a collision on Highway 39, two kilometres northwest of the community of Yellowgrass.
A northwest bound pick up truck with a single male occupant collided head on with a southeast bound International refrigerated truck. The two adult males that were travelling in the refrigerated truck were not injured, but the 46-year-old male driver of the pickup truck was transported to hospital in Regina by Stars and succumbed to injuries suffered during the collision a few hours later.
The highway was closed for several hours while an accident reconstructionist examined the scene. Alcohol is not being considered as a factor in the collision. The cause of the collision is still under investigation.
