New Bothwell Fire was called to a single vehicle collision shortly after 4 pm Monday. Kleefeld Fire was called to assist a short time later by RCMP because there was a chance that extrication might be required.

Kleefeld Deputy Fire Chief Armin Dueck says a vehicle traveling east on Highway 52  veered and went off the road at a canal ditch.

Dueck says there was only one occupant in the vehicle. "He was a very fortunate person, just minor injuries. He was transported to the hospital for observation."

Traffic was slowed on Highway 52 near the 216 intersection while emergency crews were on the scene.
