2 separate fatal incidents in Saskatoon over Easter weekend under investigation – Saskatoon

Saskatoon’s Easter weekend was marred by tragedy after two separate incidents — a house fire and a fatal rollover on Highway 16 — claimed the lives of two residents.

Friday, fire crews responded to an incident in the 400 Block of Avenue I South. While extinguishing the flames, the firefighters located a resident, who was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the fire. Footage obtained by Global News shows no damage to the exterior of the home as police remained at the scene until Saturday afternoon.

Early Saturday morning, emergency crews responded to a single-vehicle crash on the westbound onramp to Highway 16 from Idylwyld Drive. The car was found overturned and on its roof. Four people were found, one of whom was pronounced dead at the scene. Later that day, police said the victim was a 24-year-old man. Three others, all in their early 20s, are in hospital with serious injuries.

The causes of the house fire and the car crash are still unknown.
