One person is dead after a crash west of Moose Jaw earlier this morning.

RCMP say a vehicle rolled at around 4:47am on the Trans-Canada Highway near the Besant Campground, located between Mortlach and Caronport. They add one person was found dead at the scene, and two other people in the vehicle were sent to hospital in Moose Jaw with undetermined injuries.

Investigators are still at the scene and traffic on Highway 1 is being reduced to one lane in both directions. RCMP say drivers are to expect delays in that area for the next several hours and remind them to slow down to 60km/h when passing emergency workers.
