Strathcona County RCMP are on the scene of a fatal highway collision, and are warning motorists to be careful as driving conditions are poor.
RCMP and Strathcona County emergency crews were on the scene of a fatal two-vehicle crash on Highway 21, near Township Road 510.

Investigators said a car was travelling northbound on Highway 21, when the driver and lone occupant lost control of the car, and collided with a southbound minivan.
The driver of the smaller car suffered serious injuries in the crash, and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The 50-year-old male driver of the van was taken to a Sherwood Park hospital with non-life threatening injuries – three other passengers in the van suffered minor injuries and were treated on the scene.
