Saskatoon woman killed in two-vehicle crash on Circle Drive
First responders were called to the intersection of Circle Drive and Laurier Drive just after 8 a.m., Saskatoon police said in a news release.
Police say a black Kia van merged onto Circle from Laurier Drive and struck a white Buick SUV, which then crashed into a pole. The 73-year-old driver of the white Buick was killed in the collision.
Police say the driver of the Kia van and the passenger in the Buick SUV were not seriously injured.
The Buick could be seen resting on the median as collision analysts examined the scene Tuesday, with an ambulance blocking the area from the oncoming crush of morning traffic.
The front end of the Buick was flattened by the impact, and the hood stood bent and twisted toward the sky. The vehicle's airbags had deployed in the crash, then hung deflated in the windows while firefighters, paramedics and police worked to clear the site.
Police said traffic restrictions were lifted by 1:30 p.m.

B.C. court records show second charge against alleged hijacker Shaheer Cassim
RCMP officers inspect a Cessna 172 at Vancouver International Airport on July 17, 2025, after the pilot was arrested. The man accused of hijacking a plane and triggering a security scare at Vancouver International Airport last week faces a second charge related to the rogue flight. B.C. online court records say a charge of damaging or interfering with a navigation system was sworn Friday against Shaheer Cassim. Cassim was arrested July 15 after allegedly threatening a flight instructor at Victoria International Airport, seizing control of a Cessna, then circling the plane over Vancouver's airport before landing and being arrested by police. Police say the 39-year-old had an 'ideological motive to disrupt airspace' and announced a charge of hijacking the day after the flight. Both charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison. Cassim is a former commercial airline pilot who posted on social media the day before the airport security scare that he was a 'messenger of Allah' sent to save humanity from catastrophic climate change. Cassim is expected to appear in Provincial Court in Richmond, B.C., on Tuesday. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 21, 2025.
