Traffic has returned to normal on Highway 1 East of Strathmore following a fatal motor collision.

Just before 4 am August 29, RCMP were dispatched to a two vehicle collision where a tow truck ran into the back of a tractor trailer unit. Both vehicles were traveling westbound.

The tow truck caught fire as a result of the collision.

The 44-year-old driver of the tow truck was deceased on scene while the driver of the semi truck was uninjured.

Traffic was diverted while crews cleared the cargo from the tractor trailer unit from the highway.

An RCMP collision analyst attended the scene and the investigation into the cause of this collision remains ongoing.
