Three RCMP officers were injured in a collision between two police vehicles Saturday morning.
“We are aware that there are inaccurate stories circulating on social media that the officers involved are gravely injured; however, we can say that the injuries were described as serious and non-life threatening,” RCMP said in a release Saturday afternoon.
The collision occurred when, at 5:15 a.m., North Battleford RCMP was responding to a call of a break and enter at a residence in the community of North Battleford.
During the response to this serious call, two police vehicles collided in an intersection resulting in three officers, two males and one female, being taken to hospital in North Battleford by ambulance. Two officers have been released from hospital and the third was to be transported to Saskatoon for further treatment.
The investigation is ongoing with the assistance of RCMP collision reconstructionists. The intersection of 11th Avenue and 102 Street was closed during the scene examination but has since been cleared and is open to traffic.
The initial complaint of the break and enter is also currently being investigated by North Battleford RCMP.
