Multiple vehicle crash near Regina results in serious injury, 'very hazardous scene': fire department

A multiple vehicle collision three kilometres south of Regina on Highway 6 Tuesday morning resulted in serious injury. Travel is not recommended in that area. 

Regina Fire arrived on-scene at approximately 9:45 a.m. CST.

The fire department described it as a "very hazardous scene." One patient with serious injuries was transported to hospital by EMS.

Regina Fire's captain was on-scene to create a convoy with two fire trucks to escort EMS units into Regina safely. Regina Fire said visibility at the scene of the crash is near zero. RCMP was also on-scene for a "total team effort."

Road conditions across Saskatchewan were poor Tuesday, after particularly stormy weather Monday evening through Tuesday morning.

Terri Lang, a meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada, said that while there wasn't too much snow, there was enough to blow around on the roads.

"Our Alberta Clipper has moved on through, and in the wake of it, we've got these really strong winds, particularly across the south," said Lang.

"So it's really iced up the highways quite a bit with the fresh snow and falling temperatures. 

Lang said Saskatchewan would continue to see temperatures drop over the course of the Tuesday.

"The winds should slowly ease up, so there will still be some blowing and drifting snow on the highways. Just something to keep in mind, especially if you're heading south. And of course, some of those highways are closed, so you may not get very far."

Temperatures are expected to warm up by Thursday. However, Lang said Saskatchewan will see a repeat of what happened on Monday night on Thursday night.

"As we see another front swinging through. A little bit of snow. A lot of wind."
