Jun 11, 2025 | 8:12 PM

A man from Red Deer has died after a two-vehicle collision in east-central Alberta Wednesday afternoon.

RCMP responded around 1:30 p.m. to Highway 12, just west of Castor — about 60 km east of Stettler and 140 km east of Red Deer.

Initial findings suggest a truck driving eastbound on Hwy 12 veered into oncoming traffic and collided with an SUV.

The 79-year-old male driver of the SUV, who was from Red Deer, was declared deceased on scene.

His female passenger, as well as the driver of the truck, were transported by STARS air ambulance with serious injuries.
