One person is dead and two others are being treated for injuries after two pickup trucks collided at a highway intersection west of Stettler at about noon on Sunday.
Donna Ann Johnson, 47, of Parkside, Saskatchewan has been identified as the woman killed.
Cpl. Terry Best of the Stettler RCMP said a pickup truck was heading north on Hwy 21 when it collided with a pickup truck that had been heading west on Hwy 11 just north of Content Bridge and about 30 kilometres west of Stettler.
Both vehicles ended up in the ditch at the northwest corner of the intersection.
The intersection is controlled by a set of two stop signs, affecting traffic travelling north and south on Hwy 21.
Johnson, a passenger in the northbound truck, was killed in the impact.
The driver and sole occupant of the westbound truck, a 26-year-old man from Consort, suffered severe injuries and was airlifted to Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton on a STARS helicopter.
The 21-year-old Lloydminster woman who had been driving the northbound truck was taken by ground ambulance to Red Deer Regional Hospital to be treated for her injuries, which are not believed to be life threatening.
Emergency crews used the jaws of life to extract both drivers from their vehicles.
Details of the collision are still being investigated and police have not determined whether charges will be laid, Best said on Monday. No names have been released.
Traffic on both highways was interrupted for several hours after the collision. RCMP from the Stettler and Bashaw detachments as well as an RCMP collision analyst Red Deer were called to the scene. Emergency personnel were called out from the Town of Stettler, Stettler County, City of Red Deer and Alix fire department along with a highway crew from LEDCOR.
