Two women have been pronounced dead after a crash south of Cudworth involving a vehicle and a combine.

The vehicle the women were in was heading south on Highway 2 when it collided with a combine coming off of a grid road, according to RCMP.

The driver of the combine was not injured.

Wakaw RCMP, Hoodoo Fire Department and EMS were called to the scene, about 7 kilometres outside of Cudworth, at 5 p.m.

A man who was also in the vehicle with the women was taken to hospital.

The highway was restricted on Thursday evening near where the collision happened while an RCMP traffic reconstructionist gathered evidence with the Saskatchewan Coroner's office. It was later reopened.

Alcohol is not believed to have been a factor in the crash.

Cudworth is located about 85 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon.
