According to police, it appears the vehicle was headed west when a tire blew out, causing it to go over an embankment and into some trees before landing in a creek.
Two people were pronounced dead at the scene when emergency crews arrived.
On Thursday, RCMP said one of the victims was a 68-year-old Drayton Valley man while the other was a 65-year-old man from the Breton area.
