One person has died as a result of injuries sustained in a two vehicle collision earlier today near Three Hills.
On April 24, 2018 at approximately 2:30 p.m., Three Hills RCMP responded to the intersection of Highway 583 and Highway 21 for a serious motor vehicle collision. A passenger car carrying two occupants was struck on the drivers side by a semi tractor trailer unit.
The 95 year old male driver of the car was transported to hospital where he was pronounced dead. His 96 year old female passenger was air lifted to a city hospital with serious injuries. The semi driver was not injured.
Preliminary investigation suggests the passenger car had 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.
An RCMP Collision Reconstructionist has been on scene assisting with the investigation. The intersection of Highway 21 and Highway 583 has been reopened to
traffic.
