LLOYDMINSTER, Sask. – Search efforts were successful in finding a man after a single vehicle rollover east of Lloydminster Saturday. RCMP say a westbound pickup truck lost control, entered a ditch and rolled.
Employees from the Husky Energy company were first to locate the truck on Township Road 504 near Highway 675 and called RCMP around 7:45 p.m.
Officers searched the immediate area with the employees but were unable to locate the driver.
RCMP say the search was urgent due to minus 30 temperatures and called in Lloydminster Rescue Squad and WPD Ambulance.
