A 64-year-old man was killed in a head-on two-vehicle collision near a town east of Calgary Thursday morning.
First responders, including EMS and RCMP, were first called to the scene on Highway 817 near Strathmore at about 11:15 a.m.

A RCMP Collision Analyst is still investigating the cause of the collision.
It’s not known where the victim was from.
