Highway 41 sees second serious crash in as many days

Sep 2, 2021 | 10:47 AM

A 53-year-old woman is recovering in hospital following a collision on Highway 41 on Wednesday.

According to police, the driver of the car crossed the centre line into the path of a semi-trailer loaded with steel.

The driver of the semi swerved to avoid a head-on collision, but the car sideswiped the trailer and sustained severe damage.

Saskatoon firefighters were called around 4:15 p.m. and used hydraulic cutting tools to free the woman from her vehicle.

Police said alcohol was not a factor.
