The Saskatchewan RCMP say another person has died after a collision on Highway 12 in early April.

The collision occurred on April 9 after a Warman RCMP officer observed a Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV driving “erratically” south on Highway 12.

A previous RCMP release stated the officer turned on their emergency lights to stop the vehicle, which they say “kept driving at a high rate of speed.”

Police also said when the officer caught up with the Jeep it had been driving on the wrong side of the road and had collided with a northbound Toyota SUV.

The 30-year-old pregnant woman from Warman who was driving the Toyota SUV was pronounced dead on the scene and her passenger received non-life-threatening injuries.
