Leduc RCMP issued a traffic advisory around 7:40 a.m. because of a “serious” crash on Township Road 502 east of 9 Street.

Officers arrived at the crash to find the driver of an Audi sedan with serious injuries and the driver of a Dodge truck with minor injuries, according to an updated news release.

The Audi driver was a 21-year-old man from Redwater, Alta. He died at the scene. The Dodge driver was taken to hospital.

On Tuesday, RCMP said early investigation suggested the sedan made a left turn across the path of the pickup.

“The investigation continues and charges have yet to be laid in this tragic event.”
