A 34-year-old man from Creighton, Saskatchewan died north of Cranberry Portage Oct. 28 when the semi-trailer he was driving flipped on Highway 10.

Cranberry Portage and Flin Flon RCMP officers responded to the single-vehicle collision about 35 kilometres north of Cranberry Portage just before 9 p.m.

Police believe the truck was headed southbound when it went onto the right-hand shoulder and the driver overcorrected, resulting in the truck flipping onto its roof.

The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. RCMP say it isn't known if he was wearing his seatbelt when the truck flipped.

Cranberry Portage and Flin Flon RCMP continue to investigate with the help of an RCMP forensic collision reconstructionist.
