The death toll on Highway 63 to Fort McMurray has risen by two in a span of just a few hours following two separate rollover crashes on the stretch of road, Saturday.
The first crash, just before noon, killed a 68 year old man just north of Wandering River.
RCMP say he was not wearing a seatbelt.
In the second crash, a vehicle rolled and caught fire near Newbrook around 2-pm.
The passenger died at the scene.
Police expected to lay drunk driving charges against the 20 year-old driver.
More than 150 people have been killed on the highway since 1990.
