Car smashes through Warman Road sound wall

Feb 24, 2015 | 5:48 PM

A car-sized hole can be seen in the sound wall along Saskatoon’s Warman Road following a crash Tuesday afternoon.

A man was sent to hospital after his car went part-way through the wall at around 1:30p.m. His injuries are described as non life-threatening.

Saskatoon police said this was one of 17 crashes they responded to between midnight and 3 p.m. Two of them, including the one on Warman Road, led to minor injuries.

A fresh coating of snow and ice is blamed for the surge in crashes. Drivers are advised to slow down, and allow more space between themselves and the vehicle in front.
