RCMP investigate Hwy. 43 fatal pedestrian collision

A fatal motor collision this morning (Tuesday, Apr. 7), east of the Highway 43-Highway 2 interchange, has Clairmont RCMP looking for the driver of a semi.

Mounties say they received reports of a man sitting on Highway 43 around 3:15 a.m., just west of Range Road 55.

By the time Officers arrived, the man had been struck and killed by a vehicle, possibly a semi, which did not remain at the scene.

Roadblocks were then set up by Valleyview RCMP but were unsuccessful; however, their investigation revealed another semi hauling a trailer stopped at the scene while travelling east, but left before RCMP arrived.
