One man has died in a crash on Circle Drive in Saskatoon.

The collision happened around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday afternoon in the southbound lane between Attridge Drive and 108th Street.

“It appears that we have a northbound vehicle traveling on Circle Drive, (and) for whatever reason, control is lost,” said Alyson Edwards, Saskatoon police spokeswoman.

“That vehicle crosses into southbound lanes, striking a southbound vehicle.”

Rescue crews needed hydraulic cutters to extricate a 70-year-old driver who was pronounced dead at the scene.
