Second fatal highway crash this summer in Saskatchewan involving wildlife

KELVINGTON, Sask. - For the second time in less than a month, a man has been killed in a collision with wildlife on a Saskatchewan highway.

The latest accident happened Tuesday night when a 52-year-old man died instantly in a crash involving an elk on Highway 38, about 27 kilometres north of Kelvington.

RCMP say the resident of Porcupine Plain, Sask., was the lone occupant of the vehicle.

His name has not been released.

A 38-year-old RCMP officer died in a collision with a moose while responding to a call near Wilkie, Sask., in July.

Const. Derek Pineo (PIHN'-ee-oh), a married father of three who was raised in Nova Scotia, was based at Wilkie and had only recently been transferred from Nipawin, Sask.
