Mayerthorpe RCMP responded to the two- vehicle crash on Highway 18 near Highway 757 just after 1:30 a.m.
Mounties believe the vehicles were travelling on Highway 18 when the southbound car crossed the center line and hit a northbound SUV.
The 34-year-old driver of the car was declared dead at the scene, as were two dogs that were in the car. The 37-year-old man driving the SUV was taken to hospital by ambulance. His 45-year-old and 14-year-old female passengers were airlifted by STARS to an Edmonton-area hospital. Police say they all had serious, non-life-threatening injuries.
RCMP are still investigating, and say no further details will be released.
