The driver of an SUV that ended up in a swamp north of the city was taken to hospital by ambulance.

Buckland Fire & Rescue said they were called to the location on Highway 2 north of Prince Albert yesterday, just before 10:30 am.

Three vehicles responded with seven firefighters and they found an SUV in a swamp when they got there.

RCMP and ambulance had already arrived and one patient was taken to hospital by Parkland Ambulance.

After speaking with RCMP, Fire Command determined that Fire/Rescue services were not required and stood down the other two responding units.
