A two-vehicle collision at Kubinec Road along Highway 3 has left a man dead and a woman seriously injured.
The crash occurred at approximately 6:15 p.m. on June 20, closing the highway for most of the night with no detours available.
Police say a 40-year-old man was located deceased in a dark coloured small car and a 49-year-old woman who had been driving a larger light coloured SUV was taken to Fernie Hospital.
The man was from Big Fork, Montana, and was travelling to Calgary to visit his girlfriend.
The woman was travelling from Okotoks, Alberta.
Police say they received witness information that a vehicle, similar to the one the woman was driving, was driving erratically near Blairmore, Alberta.
She was driving a grey 2023 GMC Yukon with Alberta licence plates.
Police are seeking any additional witness or dash camera evidence which may show or give light to the driving behaviour of either vehicle prior to the collision.
