A 36-year-old woman has died following a two-vehicle collision along Highway 43 east of Beaverlodge Monday evening.

Beaverlodge RCMP were called to the collision between an SUV and pickup truck, near Highway 723, shortly after 5:15 p.m on Oct. 11. Wembley and Beaverlodge Fire Services, as well as EMS, also attended the scene.
