PAPS say the car was turning east onto 22nd Street when it was “struck at a high rate of speed by the northbound truck”.

Traffic was blocked for hours as an RCMP collision reconstructionist helped PAPS with the investigation, which is still continuing.

McCallum has been released until his next court appearance on July 4 in Prince Albert Provincial Court.

Police are also asking anyone who might have seen the collision or have a video recording from the area of 2200 – 2400 Blocks of Sixth Avenue East to contact them at 306-953-4222 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
