One person has been killed in a rollover crash that happened Saturday morning southwest of Calgary.

EMS tells 660 NewsRadio that paramedics were called to a fatal, single-vehicle rollover near Plummer’s Road and Priddis Valley Road at about 8:30 a.m.

It is unclear what caused the vehicle, reported to be a large commercial one, to lose control.

EMS says the driver, a lone occupant, was declared deceased on the scene.

Turner Valley RCMP are asking to public to avoid the area as they investigate.
