Jul 6, 2021 | 12:56 PM

WARNER COUNTY, AB. — Multiple emergency units were called to a fatal collision involving a semi-tractor and a pedestrian on Highway 4, north of Highway 61, just after midnight Monday (July 5).

Raymond-Magrath RCMP responded with the Stirling Fire Department and Lethbridge Emergency Medical Services (EMS), as well as neighbouring RCMP officers from Coaldale and Milk River.

The north-bound semi struck a pedestrian who died at the scene. An initial RCMP Collision analyst investigation indicated the pedestrian was in the driving lane of the semi-tractor at the time of the collision.

The semi driver and a passenger were treated on scene by EMS and released.

North-bound highway-4 traffic was diverted along an adjacent range road until 5:40 a.m. when one lane was re-opened. Both northbound lanes resumed traffic flow at approximately 6:30 a.m.

A positive identification of the deceased has not yet been made and no further updates are expected.
