Two men were killed in a crash between a pickup truck and semi Thursday afternoon west of Thorsby.

Thorsby/Breton RCMP attended just after 4 p.m. to the collision on Highway 39 at the intersection of Range Road 52, east of Drayton Valley.

Police says it appears that a pick-up with a flat deck trailer traveling southbound collided with a westbound semi-truck pulling an empty tanker trailer.

The 57-year-old driver of the pick-up truck, from Wetaskiwin County, and 52-year-old passenger from Leduc were both declared dead at the scene. The driver of the semi-truck was not injured.

Traffic was diverted until shortly after midnight when the highways were cleared for travel.
