This story has been updated from its original version.

Beaverlodge RCMP say a two-vehicle crash just after 9 a.m. Friday morning along Highway 43 has left one person dead.

Mounties say the collision happened between a southeast-bound SUV and a northwest-bound pick-up truck between Hythe and Beaverlodge, near Township Road 730. An investigation into the collision suggests the SUV lost control before colliding with the truck.

The SUV driver, a 47-year-old man from Fort St. John and lone occupant of the vehicle, was pronounced dead at the scene. The 50-year-old male driver of the truck, also from Fort St. John and the lone occupant of the vehicle, was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
