Sergeant Warren Gherasim with the Warman RCMP reports that the man's vehicle veered across the centre line and smashed into a pickup truck.

The two occupants of the truck sustained non-life threatening injuries.

Saskatoon went to the polls today to vote in the Saskatchewan election. Provincially the Sask Party led by Brad Wall is expected to win with 66 per cent support in recent polls, but Saskatoon has always been a fairly strong foothold of the NDP.

Some stopped outside the Nutana Collegiate voting centre to give their opinions on the importance of voting, the state of the electoral process and the untimely first snowfall right before the election.

Sask. Party leader Brad Wall and NDP leader Dwain Lingenfelter have marked their ballots as other Saskatchewan voters find their way to the polling stations to do the same on election day.

Voters across Saskatchewan are heading out to the ballot box today, but many still have questions about procedure and details.
