The Moose Jaw Police Service is on the scene of a two-vehicle collision that shut down the 900 and 1000 blocks of Athabasca Street East early this afternoon.
Police were called to the scene around 12:50 p.m. on June 24 in response to a collision between a four-door purple Pontiac Sunfire and a red Chevrolet Trailblazer. The crash’s impact sent the Trailblazer into the front yard of a house on the south side of the street, damaging a fence in the process. The Sunfire was left sitting in the middle of the street.
Both drivers were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. According to the police, several driving- and drug-related offences are pending, including driving under the influence of drugs. Police say they also have a good idea of how the incident happened.
A collision reconstructionist was on site for much of the afternoon, while the police service expected to bring in a drone to photograph the scene from the air. More than a dozen yellow evidence markers were laid out across the road and into the front yard as police ensured they marked the evidence before it disappeared due to the weather.
The police will be on scene for a few more hours, gathering as much evidence as possible.
The investigation continues.
