The Drumheller RCMP and the Alberta Medical Examiner Office Calgary are investigating a fatal motor vehicle accident. Late in the evening of July 12 on Highway 56 south of Drumheller, a southbound SUV ran off the road and rolled. The driver was ejected from the vehicle. The driver, a 41 year old female, died as a result.
It was believed she was not wearing her seatbelt. No other vehicles were involved.
No one was seriously injured Friday afternoon in a collision between a motorcycle and a pickup truck on Highway 9 South. At roughly 2:30 p.m. on July 13, Drumheller RCMP and Badlands EMS responded to the collision and RCMP investigated.
Prior to the collision, both vehicles were travelling eastbound on South Railway Avenue, with the truck in the rear. Both vehicles turned right onto Highway 9 South. The motorcycle came to a stop as it negotiated the turn and was struck from behind by the truck at a low speed.
The male driver of the motorcycle sustained undetermind, non-life threatening injuries and was transported to the Drumheller Health Centre. The male driver of the truck was uninjured. Neither vehicle had passengers. Both vehicles sustained minor damage.
Drumheller RCMP are continuing their investigation and charges are pending against the driver of the pickup truck.
Drumheller is besieged. After a perfect combination of weather it seems no where is safe from the mosquito hordes that lurk in every corner of town.
