Saskatchewan RCMP media have confirmed one casualty following a highway collision west of Rosetown on Tuesday night.
"On December 24, 2024 at approximately 8:30 p.m., Rosetown RCMP received reports of a collision on Highway #7, west of Rosetown." the report stated. "Officers immediately responded. Investigation determined two semis jackknifed on the road. An SUV struck one of the semis, while other vehicles left the roadway while trying to avoid them."
The lone passenger in the SUV was declared deceased by EMS at the scene, identified as a 25-year-old female from Calgary, while the SUV driver was an adult male taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The family of the deceased has been notified, and no other injuries were reported to police.
Highway #7 was closed for a long period following Tuesday's accident. It has since re-opened, and Rosetown RCMP are continuing their investigation with the help of a Saskatchewan RCMP collision reconstructionist.
