Saskatoon police say a driver who pulled over to use a hand-held device did not leave enough room for a vehicle to pass, resulting in a crash.

The two-vehicle collision happened on the southbound off-ramp from Attridge Drive to Circle Drive East on Sunday at around 10:55 a.m. CT.

Police said the driver pulled over onto the shoulder in order to use a hand-held device when the vehicle following behind struck the stopped vehicle.

The lone driver in the stopped vehicle was taken to hospital with a minor injury.

The other driver was not hurt.

Police are reminding motorists who pull off the roadway to use hand-held devices that their vehicles must be completely on the shoulder and not encroaching upon the driving lane.

The investigation is ongoing.
