Driver suffers medical emergency, hits power pole near Portreeve

A man is in hospital after he suffered a medical emergency, drove off the road and hit a power pole near Portreeve Friday night.

Leader RCMP were traveling down Highway 32 when they saw a power arc. When they arrive they saw a car had collided with a power pole which caused the live wires to fall across the road.

The man, who was the only one in the car, looked like he had suffered a medical emergency before the crash. He was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

A portion of Highway 32 was temporarily closed as SaskPower crews fixed the lines, but has since reopened.
