A man is dead after his car rear-ended a semi-trailer hauling pipes on the Trans-Canada Highway east of Regina.

Emergency crews responded to the crash on the morning of Sept. 17 on Highway 1, about eight kilometres west of Grenfell.

RCMP say the driver of the car, a 33-year-old Broadview-area man, died at the scene. His name hasn’t been released.

Westbound traffic on Highway 1 was diverted around the scene during the investigation.
