COALDALE — A section of Highway-4 was shut down for about six hours Saturday (July 27) evening, to allow RCMP traffic reconstruction members to investigate a fatal two vehicle collision.
The incident happened around 7:40, at the intersection with Range Road 205 and required the help of Volker Stevin services to reroute traffic.
RCMP determined a semi trailer hauling agricultural equipment was heading southeast on Highway 4 when it collided with a northbound SUV entering Highway-4 from the range road. The SUV was struck broadside by the semi.
The impact on the smaller vehicle crushed the driver’s side. The two occupants of the car, an older couple in their 80’s from Taber, died at the scene.
