Saskatchewan RCMP were notified of another death resulting from the fatal motor vehicle collision that occurred on Friday night. This brings the number of people who died in the collision to 15.

Assistant Commissioner Curtis Zablocki, with the Saskatchewan RCMP, said the investigation will be looking at all aspects of the crash to figure out what happened.

"The driver of the semi-trailer unit is not in custody," Zablocki said. "As part of the process of the investigation, the driver was detained initially. Our investigative processes were implemented and the driver has subsequently been released. He has also been provided with some mental health and wellness assistance."

The cause of the accident is still under investigation. Zablocki said a number of avenues need to be considered such as road and weather conditions, the condition of the driver and mechanical conditions.

Zablocki also praised the work of about 50 emergency personnel who responded to the accident site Friday evening. Two STARS air ambulances were called to the scene, along with area police, fire and rescue, and emergency medical technicians. Several volunteers who came across the scene also offered their assistance.
