Prince Albert RCMP are looking for a vehicle believed to be involved in a fatal collision with a pedestrian early Tuesday morning on Highway 11 near MacDowall, Sask.

According to an RCMP news release, officers with the Prince Albert detachment received a report of a deceased person on Highway 11 just south of the turn-off to MacDowall around 2:15 a.m.

When police arrived at the scene they found the body of a man. RCMP said he has not been formally identified and no other details on the man’s identity will be provided at this time.

“Preliminary investigation determined the male had injuries consistent with being struck by a vehicle. It’s believed the incident occurred in the southbound lanes,” the release said.
