A man from Weyburn, Sask. died following a collision on Highway 1 just east of Regina on Friday morning.

White Butte RCMP received a report of a two-vehicle collision around 8:30 a.m., according to a release from Saskatchewan RCMP.

An eastbound SUV and eastbound semi collided, RCMP said. A woman driving the SUV and a male passenger were the two occupants of the SUV. The 68-year-old man died and the woman was taken to hospital with unknown injuries.

A man driving the semi reported no physical injuries.

Eastbound lanes of Highway 1 were reduced but have since been reopened.

White Butte RCMP and a Saskatchewan RCMP collision reconstructionist are investigating the collision.

RCMP noted that five people were issued tickets for using a cell phone while driving past the collision scene. Drivers were reminded that those actions put first responders at risk.
