In another incident at approximately the same time on Friday evening, Canora RCMP responded to a fatal single vehicle collision on a grid road just off of Highway 9 near Endeavour, SK.

Witnesses observed the vehicle in the ditch with smoke coming from it. The 60-year-old male driver and sole occupant of the vehicle was removed and CPR was attempted until paramedics arrived, but he was declared dead at the scene

A preliminary investigation determined the vehicle left the grid road and entered a culvert.
