1 dead in crash south of Irricana

An investigation is underway into a two-vehicle collision that left one dead and four others injured early Saturday evening.

At 5:43 p.m., Airdrie and Beiseker RCMP received reports of the crash, on Highway 9, around three kilometres south of Irricana.

Officers discovered the driver and sole occupant of a Ford Mustang, a 51-year-old Strathmore man, was dead.

The 16-year-old female driver of a Dodge 3500 truck and her three teenage passengers suffered non-life threatening injuries.

While the investigation continues, police say it appears the truck swerved into oncoming traffic and hit the Mustang.
