A 36-year-old man is dead after his car crashed head-on with a semi-truck in northwestern Alberta on Tuesday morning, according to police.
The RCMP said officers were called to a crash on Highway 35, about 15 kilometres south of Paddle Prairie, Alta., at around 8 a.m.
They said the driver of the car was pronounced dead at the scene while the driver of the semi-truck was not hurt.
Road and weather conditions did not appear to have played a role in the crash, Mounties said.
Police said they believe the car crossed the centre line into the oncoming lane and that they weren’t considering laying charges against the semi-truck driver.
The crash prompted police to reroute traffic in the area for about an hour as officers investigated.
Paddle Prairie is about 710 kilometres northwest of Edmonton.
