From Rimbey RCMP:

Traffic is no longer being diverted on Highway 20, north of Township Road 442. At 12:09 p.m., the RCMP were dispatched to a head on collision involving a truck and semi-truck.

Preliminary investigation indicates that the truck was heading southbound and entered into the north lane on a curved section of the highway colliding with a northbound semi-truck. Both vehicles caught fire as a result of the collision.

Tragically, the driver of the pickup truck was pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the semi-truck was transported to hospital with minor injuries and was released. 

Rimbey RCMP and a RCMP Collision Analyst continue to investigate and no charges are anticipated.
