REGINA - A Saskatchewan coroner has completed a report into a crash that killed a woman and five children, but the document provides few answers about what happened.

Coroner David Forster says he didn't find any medical reason to explain why Charlene Bahan's SUV crashed last August.

Bahan was driving her two daughters and three other girls to St. Brieux when the vehicle went out of control and plunged into the mucky water of a dugout.

Forster says Bahan showed no signs of disease and recently completed toxicology tests found no drugs or alcohol in her system.

He says Bahan drowned and listed the manner of death as accidental.

The report notes that the SUV was travelling at 115 kilometres an hour, although the RCMP have already ruled out weather and mechanical trouble.
