Around 7:30 p.m., 91原创 RCMP responded to a report of a serious crash at 264th Street and 48th Avenue.
A driver of a Dodge pickup was waiting in the northbound lane of 264th Street to turn left onto 48th Avenue, and a Ford Taurus was approaching from behind.

From the impact, the Ford Taurus was sent down an embankment off the side of the road.
