A Piper Malibu departing Kamsack on an IFR flight to Saskatoon with four people aboard rolled left shortly after takeoff from runway 34. It climbed briefly, then descended in a steep left bank and struck terrain about 200 feet left of the runway, where a fire broke out. Two passengers survived with serious injuries and got out of the burning wreckage, while the pilot and one passenger died.
