TABER –  A two vehicle collision north of Taber Monday night claimed the life of a four year old.
 
The incident happened on Highway 36 at the intersection with Range Road 110 around 9:25.
 
 Taber RCMP along with Taber Fire and Emergency Services, Alberta EMS Bow Island RCMP and Lethbridge RCMP traffic services responded.  It was determined that a Volkswagen Jetta was north-bound on Highway 36 when a west-bound F-150 on Range Road-110  failed to stop at a stop sign and  collided with the Jetta.

The driver and a passenger of the truck were treated on the scene and released. Five occupants of the Jetta were taken to hospital in Taber. One of the passengers, a 4-year-old girl from Taber, died as a result of her injuries.

Taber RCMP continue to investigate with assistance from Lethbridge RCMP Traffic Services and charges are expected.

Alcohol was not a factor in the collision and weather conditions at the time were light rain.
