HUMBOLDT — A Humboldt man has been killed in a two-vehicle collision in the city.
On July 11, at approximately 11 a.m., Humboldt RCMP received the report of a crash at the intersection of 11th Avenue and Main Street.
Officers, responded along with local fire and EMS, to find a car and an SUV had collided.
Both drivers were transported to hospital by EMS. The driver of the car was later declared deceased by medical staff. He has been identified as a 35-year-old male from Humboldt. His family has been notified.
The driver of the SUV had injuries described as serious, but non-life-threatening. Neither vehicle had any passengers.
Investigation determined that, prior to the collision, a conservation officer had observed the car travel through an intersection at a high rate of speed. The conservation officer activated their vehicle’s emergency equipment to attempt a traffic stop but immediately lost sight of the vehicle.
As required by The Police Act, 1990, the Saskatchewan Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT) was notified, however, SIRT advised that this incident is outside of their mandate.
Humboldt RCMP continue to investigate with the assistance of a Saskatchewan RCMP collision reconstructionist.
