“RCMP officers learned that a tractor trailer was travelling on the highway when it struck the driver of a pickup truck who had parked and exited his vehicle to secure the load he was transporting,” the release said.
The 53-year-old died at the scene. The passenger of his Chevrolet Silverado, a youth, was not injured.
The driver of the tractor trailer was also not injured.
Police said the highway was closed for several hours but has since reopened. The investigation is ongoing.
“Our thoughts are with the victim’s family at this difficult time,” the release said.
