NORTH BATTLEFORD – Two people died Tuesday evening in a head on collision in North Battleford.
Battlefords RCMP responded to a two vehicle collision on Territorial Drive in North Battleford at approximately 9 p.m. on Nov. 30.
The collision occurred between the 8th Avenue and 13 Avenue intersection on the east side of the city.
A Black Dodge SX was driving southbound and is reported to have crossed the highway into oncoming traffic. One north bound vehicle was able to swerve out of the way and successfully avoid a collision, before the Dodge SX collided head on with a northbound Chevrolet Trailblazer.
The four occupants of the Trailblazer sustained only minor injuries and were able to walk away from the collision.
A 53-year-old female passenger from the Dodge SX was declared deceased on scene, and a 56-year-old male passenger from the Dodge SX was transported to hospital but succumbed to his injuries.
The 56-year-old driver of the Dodge SX was airlifted to hospital in Saskatoon by Stars air ambulance and is being treated for serious injuries.
Traffic in the area was restricted due to the investigation for several hours, but the scene has now been cleared and there are no more traffic delays or restrictions in the area. The cause of the collision remains under investigation. Alcohol may have been a factor.
