Officers attended the crash site along Highway 697, north of La Crete around 5:50 a.m. and found an SUV and pick-up truck were involved in a head-on collision.
Mounties then determined the driver of the SUV, a 31-year-old resident of La Crete dead at the scene, while the truck driver sustained serious injuries and was transported to a hospital.
