Saskatchewan RCMP has notified the Saskatchewan Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT) regarding a fatal collision that occurred within RCMP jurisdiction after a vehicle fled from Estevan Police on Highway #39.
On March 27, 2026, around 7:15 p.m., Saskatchewan RCMP received a report of a two‑vehicle collision on Highway #39, approximately 16 kilometres southeast of Weyburn. The collision occurred in Weyburn RCMP jurisdiction.
Saskatchewan RCMP responded. Investigation determined an Estevan Police Service officer with Combined Traffic Services Saskatchewan (CTSS) was conducting proactive patrols and observed a truck driving above the legal speed limit on Highway #39. The Estevan Police Service officer engaged the police vehicle’s emergency equipment to initiate a traffic stop.
The truck did not stop for police. Instead, the truck continued on at a high rate of speed. Shortly after, Estevan Police Service CTSS observed the truck collide with a car on the highway.
Estevan Police Service CTSS responded to the scene of the collision and assisted with first aid until the arrival of local EMS and fire. The driver and the passenger in the car were declared deceased by EMS at the scene. They have been identified as a 46-year-old male from Estevan, SK and 40-year-old female from Lampman, SK. Their families have been notified.
The driver and sole occupant of the truck was taken to a local hospital by EMS and later transported by STARS to another centre with injuries described as serious in nature.
As required by The Police Act, 1990, Saskatchewan RCMP notified the Saskatchewan Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT) of the Estevan Police Service officer’s interaction with the suspect prior to the collision. SIRT determined the incident to be in the scope of their mandate and directed Saskatchewan RCMP’s Serious Crimes Unit to investigate the incident under SIRT’s oversight.
Saskatchewan RCMP’s Serious Crimes Unit continues to investigate the collision with the assistance of a Saskatchewan RCMP collision reconstructionist and the Office of the Chief Coroner. We will provide updates when available.
