RCMP in southern Alberta are investigating a fatal collision involving a pickup truck and a semi-truck.
Police said a section of Highway 23 near Township Road 130 was closed when emergency personnel responded to the scene at about 4:45 p.m. on Tuesday.
Emergency crews found a 53-year-old Lethbridge man in the pickup truck and he was declared dead at the scene. Claresholm RCMP said the only person in the semi-truck sustained minor injuries.
Police asked drivers to use other routes while they conducted their investigation. After several hours, police left the scene and traffic returned to normal.
