It has so far been determined that a Semi-trailer unit was westbound on Highway-3, when a pick-up truck crossed the centre line and collided with the semi.

The driver and lone occupant of the semi was taken to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

However, the lone driver of the eastbound pick-up truck, tentatively identified as a maN in his mid-forty’s from Calgary, died at the scene.
