There has apparently been a fatal ATV accident in northern Saskatchewan.

Earlier this week, a man passed away in hospital after an incident near the old Gunnar mine site southwest of Uranium City.

A communications specialist with the Saskatchewan Research Council says they are aware of an “incident” — but says it occurred at a site adjacent to the mine site.

Suzanne Johnston says that is all they know about the incident at this point.

She says more information could be known on Monday.
