A serious crash on Highway 4 south of Swift Current left three people dead.

The investigation determined that a southbound SUV collided with a northbound car.

It was determined that the driver and two passengers in the vehicle died at the scene. It was determined that the people in question were a 41-year-old woman and two young girls aged 13 and 14.

Their families were informed.
