Two people have been killed in a pair of collisions on Saskatchewan highways.
A 28-year-old woman died Tuesday at about 7:30 a.m., after a two-vehicle collision on Highway 4 south of Battleford near the communities of Red Pheasant and Mosquito.
According to the RCMP, a car with two occupants was northbound on Highway 4 when it was struck on the passenger side by a truck that was travelling west on a grid road. The truck allegedly failed to stop at a posted stop sign on the grid road.
The passenger in the car was pronounced dead at the scene.
Highway 4 was expected to be closed to traffic until early Tuesday afternoon as the cleanup and investigation continued.
On Monday afternoon at about 3 p.m., a 70-year-old man was killed in a single-vehicle collision on Highway 44, one kilometre west of Glidden.
The RCMP said the man was driving an eastbound truck that went into a ditch and flipped onto its side. The driver, the lone occupant of the truck, was pronounced dead at the scene.
