Just before 3:00 p.m. on October 25, 2023, Estevan RCMP responded to a report of a serious collision 21 kilometers northwest of Estevan near Macoun on Highway #39. RCMP officers from Carnduff, Traffic Services, Integrated Border Enforcement Team and officers from Estevan Police Service also attended to assist.
Initial investigation has determined a truck and a van traveling on Highway #39 collided. A semi then blocked the highway completely to avoid the truck and van collision.
The 37-year-old male driver of the van, from Regina, was pronounced deceased on scene.
All five occupants of the truck, four adults and one youth, reported no injuries to police.
The lone adult driver of the semi reported no injuries.
The investigation into the cause of this fatal collision is ongoing by Estevan RCMP and an RCMP Collision Reconstructionist in collaboration with the Saskatchewan Coroners Service. The road was closed for an on-scene investigation to take place and has since re-opened.
