The Mounties said the driver and sole occupant of one car – a 56-year-old man from Fort McMurray, Alta. – was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics. Also killed was a 52-year-old woman from India, who was a passenger in the other car.

The driver and two passengers of that second car were taken to hospital with injuries that the RCMP said were non-life-threatening.

The highway was closed for much of the day Friday, but reopened late in the afternoon.
