After the crash, both lanes of Highway 2 were closed temporarily. The 90th Street underpass below Hwy 2 remains closed.

RCMP say they are in the process of notifying the next of kin and the identity of the individuals involved will not be released out of respect for their families.

Peace Regional RCMP along with an RCMP Collision Analyst continue to investigate.
