KITSCOTY – Mounties say a highway crash in eastern Alberta has claimed three lives, including two children.
An eight-year-old child is also in critical condition after the collision Thursday evening.
RCMP say a southbound SUV collided with a semi-truck going west on Highway 16 near Kitscoty, Alta., about 230 kilometres east of Edmonton.
The 37-year-old woman driving the SUV, a resident of Vermilion, Alta., was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say three children were rushed to hospital, where a five-year-old and a nine-year-old later died from their injuries.
RCMP did not provide details about the relationship between the woman and children.
Investigators say speed and alcohol are not considered to be factors in the crash.
