At approximately 11:57 p.m. on July 24, 2020, the Saskatoon Fire Department was alerted to a motor vehicle collision involving a motorcycle and a deer at Highway 16 and Floral Road. One fire engine and one rescue unit were dispatched for response. 

Upon arrival, fire crews located the motorcycle, operator, and deer on the highway among scattered debris and human and animal biohazards. Firefighter-paramedics assessed a 55 year-old male patient before loading him into a ground ambulance and accompanying him to hospital for treatment of what are believed to be serious injuries.
