Yorkton RCMP are continuing to investigate a collision that occurred between a school bus and semi Wednesday morning.

It happened at the intersection of Broadway Avenue and Lawrence Avenue.

Cpl. Rob King, an RCMP spokesman, says the cause of the incident is still unknown.  He says the truck collided with the bus, damaging its front end and the semi's trailer.

“There was only two people on the bus. There was a driver and a lone child. The child was not hurt. The driver had some minor injuries and was taken to hospital as precaution,” said King.

Two people lost their lives in separate Saskatchewan farm accidents this week.

A 30-year-old man was trying to tow a tractor out of the mud with his brother near Edenwold.

He died after the tow rope snapped and hit him in the head.

On Saturday, a 17-year-old boy died after helping his family saw firewood near Melville.

The chainsaw he was using broke apart, hitting the boy in the leg and head.

He was taken to Melville Hospital then transferred to Regina General where he died of his injuries.

Tragedy hit a farm near Melville this Saturday when a 17-year-old boy died after the chainsaw he was using to help his family saw fire wood broke apart.

A piece of the chainsaw, the flywheel, flew off causing injuries to the boy’s head and leg.

The teen was taken to a hospital in Melville before being sent to the Regina General, where he died of his injuries.

Occupational Health and Safety has since determined the incident to be a tragic accident.

Beginning Friday SGI and the Saskatchewan Association of Chiefs of Police are kicking off Operation HandsFree.

“We figure by everybody sort of banning together to do it, it might help raise the awareness a little bit more rather than individual police forces holding their own at different times throughout the year,” explained SGI’s Kelly Brinkworth

The two day blitz is just the first of what will continue to be a monthly targeted traffic focus between the partners.

Brinkworth said focusing on drivers using cell phones is a good way to kick it off.

The Penn State sex abuse scandal has hit very close to home for former NHL player, Theo Fleury.

Speaking on the CJME Morning News Tuesday morning, Fleury said scandals like the one unfolding at Penn State could just be the tip of the iceberg.

“You’ve just opened up Pandora’s Box and it could blow this thing wide open and we could see lots more instances and lots more cases where this whole power thing finally gets exposed,” Fleury said.

He, as a survivor of sexual abuse, noted that speaking out is critical.

The Farm Credit Canada Corporation reported this week the average value of farmland in Saskatchewan has gone up nearly 12 per cent in the first six months of this year.

This climb in value means farmland could also make a great investment.

Bob Lane with Lane Realty gave News Talk Radio an idea of how prices have fluctuated.

"On the Regina plains we peaked out in 1981 at a thousand dollars an acre and now that same land could probably sell for fourteen to fifteen hundred dollars an acre, again."

There are police barricades set up in the east end of Prince Albert, early Tuesday morning, keeping people from an area with police tape where officers are investigating.

According to the Prince Albert Police Service they are investigating a sudden death in the 800 block of Third Street East.

The area was quiet as residents were just starting the day.

More information will be available at a news conference expected at 10:30 a.m.

A Saskatchewan minor football coach from Moose Jaw has been nominated for the NFL Coach of the Year in Canada.

Scott Montgomery has been coaching minor football for 20 years and says that it is as much about building character as it is about competition.

“I don’t think there is anything that sets me apart from anybody else,” said Montgomery.

“I try to coach and teach kids in a way they understand and learn.”

Despite his success Montgomery said this will be his last year coaching as he wants to focus on his daughter’s judo.

SaskTel customers on a data plan in Regina and Saskatoon are reporting issues once again.

Users across all platforms, meaning Blackberry, iPhone and Android, are all saying on Twitter that their data isn't working.

Despite the issues, SaskTel reports that had recently upgraded the network due to usage.

However, the CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) network doesn’t appear to be effected.

Despite heavy criticisms across Canada, the provincial government isn't worried about the potential costs surrounding the new federal tough on crime bill.

Ontario and Quebec's premiers have slammed the bill, insisting it will drastically increase provincial costs pertaining to jails and courts.

However, Saskatchewan Justice Minister Don Morgan expects the costs will be lower than expected, partly because our province is running out of jail space.

“We know that our current system is at or near capacity,” said Morgan.
