Three people are dead following a two-vehicle collision that closed Highway 10 northeast of Balgonie on Sunday.
At approximately 7:40 p.m., first responders arrived on the scene of a collision between a truck that had been travelling north on the highway and a vehicle that had been heading south.
Initial investigation determined the truck lost control and collided with the vehicle.
The 59-year-old man driving the vehicle and a 32-year-old female passenger were killed and four girls were taken to hospital with serious to critical injuries. A seven-year-old girl subsequently died of her injuries.
According to the RCMP, the two men in the truck received minor injuries.
The highway was closed for several hours as officers investigated the crash.
The Mounties haven’t said what caused the collision, but they revealed in a media release that road conditions at the time of the crash “had been rapidly deteriorating in the area after a recent rainfall and dropping temperatures.”
