A 71-year-old man from Wetaskiwin was killed following a motor vehicle collision on Friday.

Killam/Forestburg RCMP say on Oct. 17 at noon they were called to a single-vehicle rollover on Highway 13 between Range Roads 144 and 145, east of Strome.

Initial investigation suggests a semi-truck that had a flatbed trailer changed direction off the highway and into the south ditch. Police say as a result, the semi rolled over.

The man from Wetaskiwin was found outside the vehicle unconscious by EMS and was later pronounced deceased.
