Meadow Lake RCMP say the accident they responded to on Monday was a fatal collision.

RCMP were called out around 8:30 a.m. to Highway #55 east of Meadow Lake.

A semi and a pickup truck had collided and the driver, as well as sole occupant of the pickup truck, was declared dead at the scene.

Meadow Lake RCMP are working with the Saskatchewan Coroners Service to formally identify the deceased, and as such, no further information about their identity can be released at this time.

The driver of the semi was transported to hospital by EMS with injuries described as serious in nature.

Meadow Lake RCMP continue to investigate with the assistance of a Saskatchewan RCMP collision reconstructionist.
