Collision on Tuesday morning between pickup truck and semi was fatal: RCMP

A 25-year-old male from Edmonton has died as the result of a morning collision north of La Corey on Tuesday.

Earlier today, Bonnyville RCMP, in partnership with Bonnyville Regional Fire Authority, Bonnyville EMS and MD Bonnyville Public Safety Peace Officers, responded to a serious motor vehicle collision on Township Road 640. 

The collision, between a pickup truck and a semi truck, resulted in the death of a 25-year-old Edmonton resident. 

Though the incident is still under investigation, police say, preliminary findings suggest that icy roads and freezing rain were the main contributors to the collision.

Township Road 640 has since been reopened for travel.

The thoughts of the Alberta RCMP are with the friends and family of the deceased.
