Fort Saskatchewan RCMP reported that emergency crews were on scene of a fatal collision between a van and a semi on Highway 15 west of Range Road 193 late Friday afternoon.

According to the Nov. 19 news release, the highway was blocked as a result of the collision and traffic was being diverted. Motorists were asked to avoid the area and take alternate routes if possible because traffic was expected to be impacted for several hours while the investigation is completed.

The highway was reopened approximately 7 hours after the accident.
