The driver of a pickup truck involved in a crash with a semi on Highway 16 has died, RCMP say.

The 31-year-old was the lone occupant of the pickup involved in the collision, which occurred Sunday at about 11 p.m. near Waseca, in west-central Saskatchewan. The semi driver was taken to hospital but has since been released, according to police.

An RCMP collision analyst has been called to the scene, and the coroner’s office is assisting in the investigation.

Mounties have not yet released details on the cause of the crash and have yet to clarify if the man killed in the collision was pronounced dead at the scene or in hospital.

Highway 16, which has since been re-opened, was shut down for several hours as police investigated.

Waseca is located about 38 kilometres east of Lloydminster.
