The crash on Highway 2A happened just north of Ponoka near Township Road 434, just before 11 p.m.

Mounties said a GMC Acadia was passing other vehicles  when it struck an oncoming Volkswagen Tiguan.

Police said a 41-year-old woman driving the Acadia died at the scene.

A 26-year-old man and a 14-year-old boy inside the other SUV were also pronounced dead.

A 14-year-old girl in the Tiguan was air lifted by STARS air ambulance to hospital, but died of her injuries.

All four were residents of Maskwacis, a First Nation community about 70 kilometres south of Edmonton.
