The Moose Jaw Police Service has closed Manitoba Street East from Third to Ninth avenues northeast following an incident earlier this afternoon.
Four police cars and several members of the Combined Traffic unit were on the scene after an apparent incident involving a green motorbike. The motorbike could be seen in the Moose Jaw River on the south side of the bridge.
According to police service, officers responded around 12:35 p.m. to the single-vehicle collision. Police determined that the lone occupant of the motorbike may have been intoxicated; the motorist was taken to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.
Members of the police service's unmanned aerial vehicle — drone — team and collision analysts were on scene reviewing the situation.
The Moose Jaw Police Service reminded residents that with a long weekend approaching, police will be more vigilant for impaired driving while residents should not drive impaired.
