A 24-year-old woman from Regina has died after a crash Thursday evening west of Moose Jaw.

RCMP say a semi had hit a deer around 9 o'clock on the TransCanada Highway just east of Mortlach. The deer was injured in the collision and had wandered back into traffic causing a passenger vehicle to swerve to avoid the animal. That vehicle then collided with the back of the semi and flipped, killing the driver.

The 28-year-old male passenger from Regina was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries and has since been released. The driver of the semi was not injured.

The area was closed to traffic until 3:30 Friday morning as RCMP investigated.
