The RCMP was called to a collision between a grain truck and an extended-cab pickup truck on July 13 at the intersection of grid road 606 and the Goodwater grid road three miles north of Midale

The grain truck, driven by Russell Casler of Midale, went through a yield sign and collided with the pickup driven by Keith Wilvers of Halbrite. Both vehicles were extensively damaged. Wilvers was taken to Midale and then Weyburn General Hospital for treatment and was released. Casler was charged with failing to yield at a yield sign.

Subsequently, the RCMP and RM of Cymri have announced that the RM will change all yield signs in the RM to stop signs, in the hopes of preventing collisions.
