Man killed in crash at intersection of Humboldt Broncos bus collision
A 39-year-old man from Nipawin was killed when an SUV and a pickup truck collided Sunday near Armley, Sask.
The SUV was travelling on Highway 335 and the truck on Highway 35; the truck driver was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
The crash happened at the same intersection where 16 people died in the 2018 Humboldt Broncos bus crash.
Since that collision, the trees near the intersection were removed to improve visibility, and the province says it completed 13 safety recommendations, including larger signs and rumble strips.
The intersection has also been the site of other deadly crashes, including one in 1997 that killed six members of a family.
