At least one person is dead following a fiery crash near Edmonton.

Leduc RCMP say a semi-truck was travelling northbound on the QE2 at the Highway 2A turn off, when it left the road and rolled onto the centre median around 6 p.m., Wednesday.

It then caught fire, leading to the blockage of all northbound lanes.

RCMP say the driver was killed, and it’s unknown if any passengers were in the vehicle.

The road remained closed for roughly seven hours as police investigated the crash.
