Dec 1, 2025 | 9:37 AM

The Sylvan Lake RCMP say an investigation is ongoing into a fatal motor vehicle collision on Highway 20 on Saturday.

Mounties say a preliminary investigation suggested a commercial boom truck was driving southbound on the highway that afternoon when it changed direction off the road and into the ditch.

As a result, the 44-year-old driver from Onoway, Alta. was declared deceased on scene. However, the passenger of the truck was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Highway 20, between Township Roads 293 and 294, was closed for several hours before it was reopened later that evening.
