Two people were killed Friday when a pick up lost control on an icy Waskatenau Bridge near the north end of Lamont County, and slammed into a tractor trailer.
Smoky Lake RCMP reported a pickup truck with two occupants drove over a patch of ice on the road, causing their vehicle to lose control and collide with an oncoming semi-truck on Secondary Highway 831.
The two occupants of the truck, a 54year-old male and a 51-year-old female, were declared deceased on scene.
RCMP did not release details about injuries to the semi-truck driver.
Traffic along Hwy. 831 south of Waskatenau was affected for several hours following the deadly crash while damaged guard rails were repaired.
The same day, Vinca Bridge just NW of Lamont County near Bruderheim was also the scene of a reported tragic accident.
Frosty, foggy weather was reported to be a factor for both accidents.
