An 87-year-old woman died Tuesday afternoon following a two-vehicle collision in Wetaskiwin County, RCMP confirmed Wednesday.
Breton RCMP were called around 2:15 p.m. to a serious collision involving a Dodge Ram truck and a Ford Ranger at the intersection of Highway 13 and Highway 22.
When Breton RCMP arrived, Emergency Medical Services and fire services were already at the scene.
Mounties said the driver of the Ford Ranger, identified as an 87-year-old woman, was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Dodge Ram, a 36-year-old man, was not injured.
