SASKATOON — Warman RCMP were called to the scene at a collision involving two vehicles on Highway 14 about 2.5 kilometers west of Saskatoon, near Range Road 3071.
The Saskatoon Fire Department assisted the Asquith Fire Department in attending to the motor vehicle collision where extraction needed to be done.
