A semi-truck rollover has claimed the life of the driver after it turned off the road, hit the centre median, then burst into flames.
The crash occurred Wednesday evening around 6 o’clock when the truck was heading northbound on the QE ll at the Highway 2-A turnoff when the semi caught fire, blocking both lanes.
It’s unknown at this time if there were any other passengers in the vehicle.
The Leduc Traffic Unit and mounties are investigating the cause of the crash and it’s unclear at this time what caused the semi to leave the highway.
The northbound lanes were shut down for most of the evening, one reopened just before midnight and then fully reopened in the early morning hours.
