Bashaw RCMP are hoping someone may have information or may have witnessed a single vehicle collision that claimed the life of two people last week.

On Nov. 9, at approximately 3:45 a.m., Bashaw RCMP with the assistance of Emergency Medical Services responded to a single vehicle collision at the intersection of Highway 21 and Highway 611 in Camrose County.

The preliminary investigation has revealed that a grey van was travelling eastbound on Highway 611 when it failed to stop at the intersection of Highway 611 and Highway 21. The van came to a stop on the east side of the railroad tracks.

Mounties say both occupants of the van, a 47-year old female from Ponoka, and a 50-year-old male from Maskwacis, were pronounced deceased on scene.

RCMP Police Dog Services, the RCMP Collision Analyst and CN police attended the scene. The cause of the collision, however, is still under investigation.

Police say no further updates are anticipated and the name of the deceased will not be released.

If you have any information in relation to the collision or if you saw the grey van and occupants anytime between Nov. 8 at 9 p.m. and Nov. 9 at 3:45 a.m., please contact Bashaw RCMP at 780-372-3793.
