The driver of a minivan was pronounced dead at the scene of a two-vehicle crash about 45 kilometres east of Calgary on Wednesday night.
Shortly before 5 p.m., the RCMP were called to a serious crash on Highway 901, about half-a-kilometre west of Highway 817.
The other vehicle involved in the collision was a semi-truck. Police said the truck driver suffered minor injuries.
According to the RCMP, the minivan is believed to have crossed the centre line before it collided head-on with the semi-truck. Police said the crash happened “despite efforts made by the driver” of the semi-truck.
Highway 901 was closed in both directions for several hours as emergency crews and investigators attended the scene but has since reopened.
Police did not provide any further details about the driver who died.
