Kyle Luciuk says he was headed west on Highway 14 on his way to Biggar this morning when he encountered a long line of vehicles and realized there had been an accident with no medical personnel or first responders yet on scene
Luciuk is a volunteer firefighter with the Waldheim Fire and Rescue.

The accident happened about 11 kilometres west of Saskatoon and two people were injured. One of them seriously.

Luciuk says it was a true collaborative effort and he felt he was recognized and respected for his training by those who do the job full time.

“Goes to show that no matter who we are, or who we represent, whether you’re a department out east or a department out west, small time, big time, male, female, young, old. We all came together collectively in a time when someone needed us and performed a professional service.”

Highway 14 is expected to be closed at least until 1 pm. You can check the Highway Hotline map to see if it has re opened.
