A man was taken to hospital with serious injuries after his all-terrain vehicle crashed near Lady Lake, Sask., on the east side of the province.
It happened Thursday about three kilometres east of the hamlet.
A STARS helicopter was used to take the 39-year-old man to Regina General Hospital. Police said he received life-threatening injuries in the incident.
The man, who's from Preeceville, wasn't wearing a helmet and alcohol appears to be a contributing factor, the RCMP said.
Police continue to investigate the incident.
