A young Irish woman was killed in a single-vehicle collision.
The woman has been named as 21-year-old Meaghan Miller.
Miller was reportedly in Canada completing a work placement on a farm as part of her animal science degree.
The third year University College Dublin student was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash near the town of Maidstone, Saskatchewan.
A native of Malahide, Dublin, Miller was a keen horse riding enthusiast and worked at an equestrian centre in Dublin.

In an email issued to all students, UCD's Dean of Agriculutre Alex Evans said, "Meaghan's death is a great sorrow for all in our school and the wider UCD community.
"We extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to her family and friends."
A spokesperson for the Department of Foreign Affairs told the Irish Times it was "providing ongoing consular assistance" to Miller's family.
