Two dead after fatal rollover, pedestrian struck on Highway 10

Two 20-year-olds from Yorkton are dead after a rollover and separate crash on Hwy 10 near Edgeley.

Saskatchewan RCMP are investigating the deaths of two people on Highway 10 early Saturday morning.

Mounties said its Fort Qu’Appelle detachment received a call about a collision between a vehicle and pedestrian on the highway just west of the hamlet of Edgeley.

The pedestrian, a 20-year-old woman, was declared dead once officers arrived. The driver remained at the scene.

Later that morning, RCMP officers found a damaged vehicle in a nearby slough. The body of a 20-year-old man was found inside.

“It’s believed that the vehicle had left the roadway and had rolled. Further investigation determined the male and the female had been travelling in the vehicle together,” RCMP explained in its news release.

“This rollover is not believed to be connected to the initial collision reported to police.”

RCMP said they will continue to investigate the incident with the help of a collision reconstructionist and the Saskatchewan Coroners Service.

Edgeley is located around 53 kilometres east of Regina.
