Canada Road Safety Week/May Long Weekend

The Saskatoon Police Service would like to thank all of the safe drivers out on the roads this past week and May Long Weekend. The SPS Traffic Unit conducted three checkstops and spoke to approximately 500 drivers in Saskatoon this weekend.

On Friday night, nine drivers had their licences suspended and vehicles impounded. That night, a tenth driver was charged with impaired driving after being found under the influence of cannabis and cocaine. On Saturday night, five drivers had their licences suspended and vehicles impounded after all were found to be driving under the influence of cannabis.

The SPS encourages anyone who believes someone may be impaired behind the wheel, to call 911 when safe to do so - https://saskatoonpolice.ca/rid/
