Boyle and Wood Buffalo RCMP, along with other emergency crews, responded to what they describe as a horrific motor vehicle collision located at KM marker 88, on Highway 63. RCMP confirmed that the head-on collision between two pick-up trucks has left seven people dead and two others seriously or critically injured.
Preliminary reports indicate that a northbound pick-up truck, carrying three occupants, pulled out to pass another vehicle, and then collided with a southbound pick-up truck, carrying six occupants. There was a significant fire as a result of the impact. Three of the deceased were traveling in the northbound truck.
Motorists are reminded to be careful when traveling south of Fort McMurray as the weather and road conditions remain unfavourable.
