One person has been confirmed dead following a fatal rollover crash in Saskatoon, with police launching an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
According to reports, the crash occurred in the early hours of Saturday on the westbound off-ramp to Highway 16 from Idylwyld Drive. Emergency crews responded to the scene around 3:00 a.m., where they discovered a vehicle overturned and resting on its roof.
Authorities confirmed that four occupants were inside the vehicle at the time of the crash. One individual, identified as a 24-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene, while three others—two men and one woman in their early twenties—were transported to hospital with serious injuries.
Emergency responders reported that several occupants had been ejected from the vehicle during the crash, while another had to be extricated using specialized equipment, highlighting the severity of the collision.
