SUV collision with a Transit bus on Taylor Street overpass at Circle Drive
April 24, 2026 - 1:10pm
A Sport Utility Vehicle and a Saskatoon Transit bus collided around 8 a.m. on April 24, 2026 on the Taylor Street overpass at Circle Drive. Emergency responders attended and assessed one individual at the scene for minor injuries.
Weather and road conditions are believed to have been a factor. Saskatoon Transit will provide on-board video footage to the Saskatoon Police Service for its investigation. A separate internal investigation will be conducted to determine if there are measures needed to help prevent any future incidents.
A cost estimate of the damage to the bus is not immediately available.
Saskatoon Transit has a Critical Incident Response process with post incident support for the staff involved, including follow-up wellness checks.
