A 23-year-old Valleyview resident has died following a collision on Highway 49 north of Valleyview late Wednesday morning.

Valleyview RCMP received a report of a two vehicle collision between a cattle hauler and a car just before noon on August 26, that occurred just south of Township Road 713 . RCMP, along with fire and EMS personnel, responded to the call.

The preliminary investigation suggests that the cattle hauling semi-truck was travelling southbound along the highway, when for what remains unknown reasons, collided with the car. The driver of the car was pronounced dead at the scene, while the truck driver suffered minor injuries.
