Moose Jaw RCMP were on the scene of what was described as a “serious collision” late on Sunday night on Highway #1 near Mortlach. 

While westbound lanes were blocked, RCMP sent a press release just after 3:30 a.m. on Monday to say that they have since reopened. 

We will have more information on the collision as it becomes available. 

The RCMP provided an update on a collision that happened yesterday near Secretan.  

Swift Current RCMP attended the incident, which involved a truck towing a travel trailer that had rolled. The situation led to Highway 1 being restricted to one lane while the scene was cleared.  

Of the three people in the vehicle, one had non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to hospital. 

Motorists might see some changes to their routes starting on Monday, August 12, due to the City of Moose Jaw’s Paved Roadways & Sidewalks project. 

Areas impacted are as follows: 

Thatcher Drive W between 9th Ave NW and 11th Ave NW - those heading east will see lower speeds and must squeeze right, while cars travelling west will be diverted via West Park. 

Two losses for Crown Corporations arising from reportedly fraudulent activity were seen earlier this week in the quarterly loss report.

In one of the cases, a SaskTel employee was terminated following “two fraudulent attempts on the same day to acquire SaskTel devices," with the instances happening between December 2023 and April 2024.
