Feb 20, 2015 | 10:42 AM

An icy commute Friday morning led to a number of crashes in southern Saskatchewan, and at least one of those was fatal.
 
RCMP closed Highway 46 from Regina to Pilot Butte before 8 a.m. after a two-vehicle crash. The collision appeared to involve a silver car and a semi truck. Mounties confirm one man died in the crash, and say the highway may be closed for several hours. The other driver was not hurt.

Shortly after 10 a.m., the Highway Hotline reported a collision on Highway 33 west of Francis. The map indicates police are on scene and there is a detour in place.

Meanwhile, the Highway Hotline does not recommend travel on Highway 16 from the North Battleford area to the Alberta border. RCMP say there has been a crash near Paynton.

A section of Highway 11 was closed for some time early in the morning after a semi had jackknifed.

A number of collisions were also reported within the city of Regina Friday morning. People texting into 306-306 reported a collision on the Ring Road by the exit onto Victoria Avenue which backed up traffic.
