One person succumbed to their injuries after a two-vehicle collision on Tuesday near Three Hills, Alberta.
At around 2:30 p.m., RCMP responded to the intersection of Highway 583 and Highway 21.
Upon arrival they learned a car carrying two occupants was struck on the driver’s side by a semi-tractor trailer unit.
An RCMP collision reconstructionist has been on scene assisting with the investigation. So far they say the car entered into the intersection from Highway 583 after the stop sign to make a left, north-bound turn onto Highway 21, when it was struck by the south-bound semi-truck.
The 95-year-old man driving the car, was brought to hospital, where he later died. The passenger of the car, a 96-year-old woman, was airlifted to a city hospital with serious injuries. The semi-driver was not injured.
RCMP say they will not be releasing names.
