Tributes are pouring in to a memorial site dedicated to a 16 year old boy who died in a fatal vehicle collision in Melfort on Saturday night.
Melfort RCMP were called to the scene at 11:06 p.m. A 2005 GMC Canyon left Shadd Drive, sheared off a power pole, and come to rest against a tree. Melfort EMS and Fire Department had to remove 3 of the 4 occupant from the vehicle. A 14-year-old female was transferred to Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon in serious condition, another 14-year-old female was held in Melfort Hospital for observation with minor injuries.
The 16-year-old male driver didn’t require hospitalization.
RCMP say the weather was clear and the roads were icy at the time of the collision. Alcohol is not believee to be a factor.
An RCMP collision reconstructionist attended and examined the scene, and the investigation remains ongoing.
No decision has been made at this time in regards to charges against the driver.
