On Saturday, May 27, at approximately 7:15 a.m., an officer with the Battlefords RCMP attempted a traffic stop on a car travelling on a grid road on the Moosomin First Nation. The officer activated their emergency lights and followed the car, but the car did not stop and continued at a high rate of speed before coming to an abrupt stop in a ditch. The officer immediately requested assistance from EMS and STARS air ambulance. The officer proceeded to assist the occupants of the vehicle. The four occupants were later taken to hospital with what were described as being serious injuries.
A Saskatchewan RCMP traffic analyst also attended the scene to investigate further.
As required by The Police Act, 1990, Saskatchewan RCMP notified the Saskatchewan Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT). SIRT will investigate the Saskatchewan RCMP's interaction with the vehicle and its occupants.
