Those who travelling to between Regina and Saskatoon on Sunday may have been witness to a flaming spectacle, as a tractor trailer was lost to a fire.

On Nov. 9, at around 3 p.m., Lumsden RCMP and local firefighters received a report of a semi on fire on Highway 11 around two kilometres east of Lumsden.

Traffic on the highway was stopped temporarily until the fire was contained. It was reopened shortly after.

No injuries were reported to police. An initial investigation determined that the fire was not the result of criminal activity.
