One person was killed in a crash on Highway 2 south of Calgary on Tuesday.
Emergency crews were called to a two-vehicle collision between a truck and a sedan at 306 Avenue E, between De Winton and Okotoks, just after 5 a.m.
RCMP said a pickup truck was heading south on Highway 2 when it collided with a car that was heading east on 306 Avenue E.
The driver of the car, a 59-year-old Okotoks man, died from injuries suffered in the collision. Okotoks RCMP said the victim was the sole occupant of that vehicle.
The 36-year-old Calgary man driving the pickup suffered minor injuries, according to RCMP. EMS said the driver declined assistance from paramedics.
The collision forced RCMP to close down one lane of southbound Highway 2 as collision analysts investigated, but the highway reopened to traffic later Tuesday.
The town of Okotoks is located approximately 18 kilometres south of Calgary.
