Shortly before 8 a.m. Friday morning, Picture Butte RCMP responded to a serious motor vehicle collision on Highway 25 just south of Diamond City.

The investigation has determined that a car travelling eastbound on Highway 25 collided with a west bound SUV.  The male driver of the car and lone occupant was pronounced deceased at the scene. The lone driver of the SUV has been transported to hospital with what are reported as non-life threatening injuries.

The RCMP Collision analyst is on-scene and assisting in the investigation.  Icy road conditions are believed to have contributed to the collision.
