The Carlyle RCMP detachment responded to several files from Friday, March 17 to Thursday, March 30.
Fatal collision
On Tuesday, March 28 members of the Carlyle RCMP, Carlyle Fire & Rescue and Carlyle EMS responded to a fatal collision on Highway 9 north of Carlyle. A southbound SUV and a northbound pickup truck collided on the roadway. The lone 29-year-old female driver of the SUV was pronounced deceased at the scene. The 48-year-old lone male driver of the truck was treated at the scene. No charges were laid as the driver of the pickup tried to avoid the collision, which was due to road conditions.
Staff Sgt. Darren Simons of the Carlyle RCMP said: “We would like to express our deepest sympathy to everyone affected by this tragic accident. We would also like to thank the individuals who arrived at the accident scene and stopped to assist before emergency services arrived, as well as Carlyle Fire & Rescue and Carlyle EMS.”
“We also urge the public to use restraint on social media when a tragedy like this occurs,” adds Simons. “Please give us the opportunity to notify loved ones face-to-face with accurate information so we can ensure that families receive the utmost support from police agencies and victims services when a tragic event such as this occurs.”
