Another motorcyclist, an adult female operating a second motorcycle, suffered non-life threatening injuries that were treated in hospital.

RCMP say the occupants of an SUV, an adult female driver suffered minor injuries that were treated on scene, and the passenger was uninjured.

The 25-year-old female driver and lone occupant of a pick-up truck, from Mountain View County, involved in the collision, was located and arrested by police for impaired operation of a motor vehicle causing death. However, due to her injuries, she was taken to hospital for treatment.

Didsbury RCMP’s preliminary investigation indicated a pick-up truck was heading southbound on Highway 22 and attempted to overtake a van and lost control, striking an SUV travelling northbound.

The pick-up truck then rolled several times into the oncoming northbound lane of traffic, colliding with two motorcycles that were traveling northbound.
