RCMP have updated on the incident that caused an  increased police presence on Highway 11, approximately five kilometers south of MacDowall in relation to an ongoing investigation.  

According to RCMP on May 20, 2025 at approximately 2:15 a.m., Prince Albert RCMP received a report of a deceased individual on Highway 11, just south of the turn-off to MacDowall. 

Officers immediately responded and located a deceased adult male. He has not been formally identified, so we are not providing additional details about him at this time. 

Preliminary investigation determined the male had injuries consistent with being struck by a vehicle. It’s believed the incident occurred in the southbound lanes. 

Saskatchewan RCMP’s Prince Albert General Investigation Section (GIS) is now investigating the male’s death, and is trying to locate the vehicle involved.  

Investigators believe the vehicle is a black Jeep, which likely has damage to its front end. 

They ask anyone who captured surveillance or dashcam footage on Highway 11 south of MacDowall between midnight and 2:15 a.m. to report it to police. 

RCMP also would like to speak to anyone travelling in the area at that time, or who may know where the damaged black Jeep is. 

Report footage or information to GIS by dialling 310-RCMP. Information can also be submitted anonymously by contacting Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or www.saskcrimestoppers.com

The southbound lanes of Highway 11 were closed during initial investigation, but have since re-opened.
