Two females have died in fatal MVC near Myrnam

– At approximately 1:30 p.m. today, Two Hills RCMP and an RCMP collision analyst responded to a fatal collision near Myrnam, Alberta. RCMP determined that a north bound SUV proceeded from a stop sign on Highway 881 at Highway 45 and was subsequently struck on the passenger’s side by a west bound semi-truck. The (37) year old female driver from Niagra Falls, Ontario, and a (32) year old female from Victoria, British Columbia, died at the scene. A (12) year old boy from Niagra Falls, Ontario, was taken to Two Hills Hospital by ground ambulance with non life threatening injuries.
