Two people from British Columbia are dead following a motor vehicle collision north of Cremona, Alberta.

Upon arrival, emergency workers tended to the occupants of one of the vehicles, a Toyota Corolla, but both had died at the scene.

They have been identified as a 76-year-old male and 75-year-old female, and residents of Qualicum Beach.

The driver of the other vehicle, a Ford F350, was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
