OPP have laid 84 stunt driving-related charges between January and mid-July of this year.

In another out-of-province incident, a 27-year-old Winnipeg man was killed in a crash near Fillmore, Saskatchewan on Wednesday afternoon.

Weyburn RCMP say the crash happened on Highway 33 when a car and semi-trailer truck collided.

The driver of the car, whose name wasn’t released, was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The driver of the semi wasn’t injured.
