One man was killed and four people were taken to hospital, including two 15-year-olds, after a two-vehicle crash east of Edmonton Thursday morning, Alberta RCMP said.

Tofield RCMP responded and found a 71-year-old man, a resident of Flagstaff County, dead. Another person from that vehicle was taken to hospital, an Alberta RCMP spokesperson said later.
Three people from the second vehicle were taken to hospital, RCMP said, including two 15-year-old youths who suffered serious injuries. RCMP did not provide the age of the third person. As of Jan. 1, 2024, there were no updates on their conditions, an RCMP spokesperson told Global News.
