Late last night around 8:50 pm, on Highway #1 near Parkbeg two friends were traveling from Calgary to Regina.

Like many vehicles traveling in less than ideal conditions the vehicle slipped off the highway and became stuck in the ditch.  The two adult males then left the vehicle to walk to Parkbeg to seek assistance.

One of the males fell on the highway and became unconscious just a semi crested a small hill.  The semi could not stop or take evasive action and struck the male.  The male was pronounced dead at the scene.
 The name of the victim was Hugh Leslie Dieter, and he was from Calgary.

Members responded from Moose Jaw, Morse and Swift Current Traffic services to assist.  A RCMP reconstructionist is also assisting with the investigation.

At this time in the investigation there is no suspicion of foul play.
