A woman from St. Albert was killed in a two-vehicle collision before dawn on Monday that is believed to have been caused, in part, by the dusting of snow that fell overnight in the Edmonton area.
Morinville RCMP said the serious crash on Highway 28 near Township Road 552, about 11 kilometres north of Edmonton in Sturgeon County, happened just before 7:30 a.m.
