Fatal crash on Sask. Highway 16

SASKATOON – RCMP were called to a fatal Saskatchewan highway crash in the westbound lanes of Highway 16 yesterday afternoon.

Mounties say a white 2005 GMC Canyon pickup truck wound up overturned west of Maymont around 2 p.m.

The single vehicle rollover claimed the life of a 71-year-old Saskatoon man who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Mounties say icy highway conditions were the main contributing factor to the rollover.

A 69-year-old female passenger was transported to Battleford’s Union Hospital in stable condition.

Lanes were restricted for several hours while an RCMP collision analyst investigated.

Maymont is approximately 80 km northwest of Saskatoon.
