A 64-year-old man is dead and a number of people are injured after what RCMP are calling a “chain reaction” of crashes on Highway 7 Thursday evening.
Stonewall RCMP said they were called about a vehicle driving in the wrong lane on the highway, followed by another call minutes later about a four-vehicle pileup near the intersection with Highway 323.
According to their investigation, a white truck was headed south in the northbound lane when it caused a chain of crashes with three vehicles going north.
