The Saskatoon fire department's water rescue team was called into action early Saturday morning after a frightening crash into a slough just outside the city.
A little before 5:30 a.m. Saturday, a 23-year-old woman from Lanigan was driving on Highway 16 at Saskatoon's eastern city limits when she apparently lost control. Her vehicle went off the road and ended up upside-down in a slough.
She was helped out of the water by a passerby as rescuers raced out to the scene.
Divers searched the car and the slough to make sure there was no one else involved.
The woman was taken to Royal University Hospital as a precaution.
