RCMP investigate after man dies following Leduc crash

RCMP are investigating after a 41-year-old man died shortly after being involved in a two-vehicle crash in Leduc late Tuesday afternoon.

Mounties said officers were called to Range Road 244 at 41 Avenue in Leduc just after 5:30 p.m. Tuesday after a pickup truck collided with another vehicle.

They said the collision was “minor in nature” but the driver of the pickup truck was unresponsive at the scene. He was rushed to hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

According to police, it’s believed the man who died went into medical distress just before crashing into the vehicle in front of him. They said alcohol and drugs do not appear to be a factor.

The driver of the other vehicle was not injured.

An investigation is ongoing.
