A fatal crash claims the life of a teenager.

Around 6:30 p.m. Thursday Cochrane RCMP along with Fire and EMS responded to the multi vehicle collision on Highway 8 near range road 34.

An eastbound pickup truck crossed the center line into the path of a westbound semi tractor unit and collided head on with the semi; the driver of the semi attempted to avoid the collision by pulling onto the shoulder of the road.

The 19 year old truck driver from Calgary was thrown during the collision and struck by a second westbound vehicle; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Gary Fedrau from Cochrane RCMP cofirms to 660News there were no other injuries in the crash.

Speed and alcohol don’t appear to be factors.
