Three
vehicles were involved in the Highway 6 crash that killed three men and
two women, RCMP said.
The
accident happened around 10 a.m. CST Tuesday, about 15 kilometres north of the
city.
RCMP
spokeswoman Mandy Meier said officers are determining the identities of the
five so they can contact the next of kin.
A man
and a woman were taken to hospital with injuries.
Traffic
from north and south was being rerouted around the accident scene.
Two
cars and a truck were involved.
A
photograph released by the RCMP showed two vehicles seriously damaged and a
truck on top of one of the cars.
Police
haven't said what might have caused the crash.
It
snowed around Regina overnight, and the Saskatchewan Department of Highways and
Transportation said there were winter driving conditions on that
stretch of the highway, but no word on whether that might have been a
factor.
