A 26-year-old woman who was driving died in hospital, while two passengers suffered minor injuries.

Investigators say road and weather conditions did not play a role in the accident.

The crash comes after a 55-year-old Grande Prairie man was killed early Thursday morning when the northbound car he was driving veered off Highway 2 near the exit with Highway 2A, south of Edmonton.

Police think he may have been suffering medical distress at the time.
