1 killed in crash south of Grande Prairie
One person died in a two-vehicle crash in northern Alberta on Wednesday.
RCMP were called to an area south of Grande Prairie, on Resources Road south of Township Road 704A, in the afternoon.
Investigators believe a dump truck with a trailer was travelling south when it swerved to avoid a moose. It hit a northbound pickup truck, causing the latter to swerve and roll into the ditch. The dump truck also came to a stop in the ditch.
The 40-year-old driver of the pickup truck died on scene.
The dump truck driver was not hurt.
The area reopened after a collison reconstructionist attended the scene.
