Driver injured as crash nearly sends car into building

A woman was sent to hospital after a two-vehicle crash in downtown Saskatoon ended with one car almost rolling into a building.

It happened just after 2 p.m. Friday at the intersection of 4th Avenue North and 24th Street East.

A car ended up in the grass on the north side of 24th Street East, while a pick-up truck came to a stop on the corner.

Fire crews had to remove the driver’s side door of the car to get a woman free.

She was taken to hospital with unknown injuries.

Traffic was closed in the area for several hours.
