PICTURE BUTTE — All six occupants of an SUV were sent to hospital Thursday (Apr 26) afternoon, after the vehicle they were in collided with a loaded cattle liner.
The incident happened just before 5:30 on Range Road 22-1, 1 km south of Township Road 10-2, near Diamond City.
While Picture Butte RCMP continue to investigate, initial findings have determined the cattle liner was northbound on Range Road 22-1. The road had recently graded, which created a large dust cloud behind the semi, causing low visibility.
The cattle liner slowed to turn left into a local feedlot which resulted in the northbound SUV striking the rear end of the loaded semi.
Alcohol doesn’t appear to be a factor in the collision. However, some of the SUV occupants were not wearing seatbelts.
