RCMP: 2012 becoming a deadly year on Saskatchewan highways
When you start your car and head out on the highway you never expect the worst to happen, but this year fatal car crashes seem to be on the rise in Saskatchewan.
On Sunday an 18-year-old woman from Regina died in a rollover near Pangman and just yesterday another person driving a mini-van died in a crash with a semi near Kindersley. They are just he latest RCMP Staff Sgt. David Domoney with traffic services said as of Tuesday October 23, 138 people have died on the highways this year.
“We are on track to have more fatalities this year in the province of Saskatchewan than we have for many years,” he said.
He says fatal crashes are happening in many different regions across the province under several different circumstances. The overwhelming majority are still caused by a problem we have heard about for years.
