Red Deer woman suffers injuries in fatal multi-vehicle collision on QEll
A Red Deer woman and her three-year-old passenger suffered injuries as the result of a fatal multi-vehicle collision on the QEII Highway last week.
On August 9, at approximately 5:29 p.m., Leduc RCMP, with the assistance of the RCMP Collision Reconstructionist, responded to a fatal collision on the QEII Highway between Highway 616 and Township Road 482 in Leduc County.
Although Leduc RCMP’s investigation into the collision is ongoing, preliminary findings suggest that a northbound car was struck from behind by a northbound SUV causing two other vehicles to be struck.
Mounties say the driver of the northbound car, a 38-year-old female resident of Ardrossan, Alta. was pronounced deceased on scene. The 13-year-old female passenger was transported via STARS air ambulance to hospital with unknown injuries and has since been released.
