RCMP in Maidstone responded to a single vehicle rollover on Highway 16 at range road 3223 east of Maidstone at 6:45 p.m. Friday.

The collision involved a small sedan that was travelling westbound on Highway 16. The vehicle lost control and entered the median, causing the vehicle to roll and hit an approach.

The vehicle was being driven by an adult woman from Humboldt. With her was a two- year-old child.

The woman suffered serious but non-life threatening injury and was provided medical attention on scene by Maidstone EMS, then transported by STARS to Royal University Hospital. She is in stable condition. The child suffered non-life threatening injuries and was transported by EMS to Battlefords Union Hospital.

Prior to the collision, RCMP had received a complaint of a similar vehicle driving in an erratic manner.

RCMP was required to close down Highway 16 twice throughout the evening to facilitate the initial investigation and the landing of STARS on the Highway. The Highway is now open with no restrictions.

Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the collision. This investigation is ongoing and charges have not been laid at this time.
