When officers arrived at the scene, they learned a Ford pick-up truck travelling southbound on Highway 20 had crossed into the northbound lane and collided head-on with a semi truck, according to RCMP.
RCMP said other motorists who came upon the scene performed first aid to those involved in the collision until first responders arrived.
A 26-year-old man from Ottawa, Ont., who was inside the pick-up, died at the scene, RCMP said. A second person inside the pick-up — a 25-year-old man from Whitecourt — was taken to Rimbey Hospital and later flown by STARS Air Ambulance to an Edmonton hospital, where he remains in serious condition, according to police.
