RCMP say four people are dead after a crash between an SUV and a semi-truck northeast of Saskatoon.

Police say the crash happened Sunday night on Highway 41 near the intersection with Edenburg Road.

The four people in the SUV were declared dead at the scene, while the truck driver did not report any injuries.

RCMP continue to investigate with the help of a collision reconstructionist.

Saskatoon’s local business community mourned the loss Tuesday after the four people were identified as Karl Miller and his family.

Miller was known in Saskatoon as the founder and CEO for Meridian Development.

“Many of us in the business community consider Karl a friend, but he was also very involved in business organizations like ours,” said Jason Aebig, CEO for the Greater Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce.

Miller sat on the chamber’s board of directors, with Aebig saying he was very vocal on a range of issues in the most constructive way.

“Karl was a community builder in every sense of the word.”
