RCMP RELEASE:
On April 15, 2025 at 5:17 p.m., St. Paul RCMP responded to collision between a semi truck and a minivan at the intersection of Highway 29 and Highway 36 in St. Paul County. Upon arrival on scene, first responders attempted life-saving efforts but, despite their efforts, three were declared deceased on scene and two were transported by EMS with severe injuries. Though still early in the investigation, preliminary information suggests that the minivan failed to stop where indicated and was struck by the semi truck. Impairment by alcohol or drugs are not believed to be a factor. Both highways have since reopened for travel. The deceased are two 29-year old Saddle Lake Cree Nation, Alta., residents, one male and one female, as well as a 21-year-old female Edmonton resident.
The thoughts of the Alberta RCMP go out to the family and friends of the deceased and all involved.
