Three people involved in the third accident on the Trans-Canada Highway this week are lucky the collision was not more serious, according to Moose Jaw Fire Department commander Dave Hill.
He said the incident, which took place at the intersection with Ninth Avenue Northwest on Friday at about 10:30 a.m., was a “bad accident”.
One man, believed to be about 40, was taken to Moose Jaw’s Union Hospital with non-life threatening injuries while the two occupants of the other vehicle were released without injuries.
One vehicle was travelling southbound and was in collision with an eastbound vehicle.
“There were two vehicles and the injuries were surprisingly minor for the damage,” Hill said. “They were very lucky.”
