Street Patcher Collision Statement

Saskatoon Public Works responded to a collision this morning between a street-patching truck and a cyclist at Idylwyld Drive and 29th Street.

“At last word, the cyclist’s injuries are described as serious and the City extends its compassion for this man,” says Jeff Jorgenson, General Manager of Transportation & Utilities.

A police investigation is underway and Jorgenson says Public Works Division officials are cooperating in whatever way they can. 

Our initial information is the cyclist appears to have been travelling southbound when the collision with the street-patcher happened.

In addition to the police investigation, the City follows its own protocols after a critical incident to ensure the proper operating procedures were maintained.
