Just after 10 last night, Rosetown RCMP issued an advisory that there was a serious accident on Highway #7 approximately 15 kilometres west of Rosetown.

While the highway was closed at the time with detours in place, the Highway Hotline does not indicate any closures this morning, but it does indicate roads in the area are partly covered. The Highway Hotline is reporting pavement frost on many provincial highways this morning.

The RCMP in a news release said they couldn’t confirm that the collision was weather related however officers in the area were reporting that roads last night were very slippery.

No further details or update has been provided.

Meanwhile a 24-year-old man from Lloydminster was killed in the accident yesterday morning on Highway #17 about 5 kilometres north of Lloydminster.

He was driving a pickup truck which collided with a semi. The driver of the semi did not report injuries to police.

Highway #17 was closed during initial investigation but has since re-opened. Maidstone RCMP continue to investigate with the assistance of a Saskatchewan RCMP collision reconstructionist.
