Two people are dead and another was seriously injured following a collision involving a semi-truck and a pickup truck north of Redwater on Saturday afternoon.

Emergency crews were called to the intersection of Highway 38 and Highway 643 at approximately 4:48 p.m. on Dec. 13 after a collision between the two vehicles, according to Redwater RCMP.

Police say a semi-truck travelling west on Highway 38 failed to stop at a posted stop sign and collided with a pickup truck travelling southbound, where Highway 38 transitions into Highway 643.

The driver of the pickup truck, a 41-year-old man from Edmonton, and a 34-year-old male front-seat passenger from Sherwood Park were pronounced dead at the scene.

A 43-year-old woman from St. Albert, who was seated in the back of the pickup truck, was taken by ground ambulance to hospital with serious injuries. The driver of the semi-truck was treated and released from hospital.

Redwater RCMP continue to investigate the collision with assistance from an Alberta RCMP collision analyst.
