Oakbank RCMP are asking the public for any information regarding a serious vehicle collision that recently occurred at the intersection of Settlers Road and Highway 1.
On December 4, 2023, at 6:35am, members from the Oakbank RCMP detachment responded to a report of a two-vehicle collision that occurred in the RM of Springfield.
Officers arrived on scene and located a single vehicle with extensive damage to the passenger side. The 54-year-old male driver, from the RM of Tache, suffered serious life-threatening injuries and was transported to hospital.
