Tragic Morning Collision Claims Young Life
A 21-year-old man from Redwater lost his life in a devastating two-vehicle collision near Nisku during Tuesday morning's commute. The incident occurred as Alberta experienced its first significant snowfall of the season, creating hazardous driving conditions across the province.
Crash Details and Emergency Response
According to RCMP, the collision happened at approximately 6:30 a.m. on November 19, 2025, on Township Road 502 east of 9 Street in the Nisku area. Police and emergency crews responded to reports of a serious crash involving an Audi sedan and a Dodge pickup truck.
Investigators determined that the 21-year-old driver of the Audi sedan was attempting a left turn when his vehicle entered the path of the oncoming Dodge truck. The resulting impact proved fatal for the sedan driver, who sustained serious injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The male driver of the Dodge truck received minor injuries in the collision and was transported to a local hospital for treatment. His current condition remains stable according to authorities.
Winter Driving Conditions Contribute to Multiple Incidents
RCMP remained on the crash scene for several hours conducting their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the fatal collision. The tragedy occurred amid Alberta's first heavy snowfall of winter, which created challenging driving conditions throughout the region.
Police reported responding to numerous collisions across Alberta roads throughout Tuesday. By Wednesday morning, officers had dealt with multiple semi-trucks in ditches along the Queen Elizabeth 2 Highway south of Red Deer and along Highway 36 near Coronation.
The early morning timing of the Nisku collision, combined with fresh snowfall and potentially icy road conditions, may have contributed to the tragic outcome. RCMP typically issue warnings about adjusting driving behavior during winter conditions, including reducing speed and increasing following distances.
This marks another tragic loss on Alberta roads as the province transitions into winter driving season. The investigation into the exact cause of the collision continues as authorities work to determine all contributing factors.
