One man was killed and two others suffered life-threatening injuries in a rollover near Regina on Sunday that required a response from STARS Air Ambulance.
At about 3:30 p.m., the Southey RCMP received a report of a crash on the 734 road, just east of Highway 6.
According to the Mounties, a car carrying five occupants was travelling west on the road, which was closed for construction. The vehicle went out of control and rolled into the north ditch.
A 51-year-old male passenger died at the scene. Two 21-year-old men with serious injuries were transported to hospital by EMS and the air ambulance.
“(STARS) set up a landing pad in our canola field,” Murray Goegle, who owns land near the scene, said Sunday. “They took one of the occupants to the hospital.
“It also appeared to some measure some bodies had been thrown out of the vehicle as it rolled.”
An 18-year-old male passenger and the driver, a 23-year-old man, sustained non-life-threatening injuries. All of the men were from Regina.
The RCMP’s investigation is continuing.
