Claresholm man charged in multi-vehicle collision near Cochrane

A 30-year-old Claresholm man is facing several charges after a multi-vehicle crash near Cochrane last week.

RCMP responded to the collision on Highway 1A around 6:20 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 5, 2026. 

Witnesses reported a westbound SUV was being driven erratically before crossing the centre line and colliding head-on with an eastbound truck. 

Police say the impact pushed the truck into two additional vehicles, while a male passenger in the westbound SUV was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
