Due to the location and the severity of the injuries, the British Columbia Ambulance Service requested help from Alberta EMS crews at around 9:30 a.m., according to paramedics.

“An eastbound cube delivery truck lost control on icy roads and entered the oncoming lane, colliding with a westbound pickup truck,” British Columbia RCMP said in a news release on Monday.

“The driver of the pickup truck, a man in his 50s from Alberta, died at the scene.”

Mounties said the pickup truck passenger, a man in his 40s from the Okanagan, was seriously injured and taken by STARS Air Ambulance to a hospital in Alberta.

The two people inside the cube delivery truck were not injured, officers said.

Highway 1 through Yoho National Park was closed for several hours as officers investigated, police said.
