Police are now saying that a Dec.22 crash on a main route from the Lakeland to Edmonton has claimed the life of one person.
Redwater RCMP released information on December 30, saying a two vehicle crash just west of the Redwater access road on Highway 28 a week earlier had resulted in the death of one person.
Police say the late afternoon crash that re-directed traffic in both directions for several hours is still being investigated, but "extremely poor" driving conditions are a likely factor. Police are also saying the crash caused one of the vehicles to catch fire. The lone occupant of that vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene. The two occupants of the other vehicle suffered minor physical injuries.
The Dec. 30 police report said no further details would be provided on the age or gender of the deceased.
