An 80-year-old Altona man was killed in a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Hwy. 30 and Provincial Road 421 over the weekend.
Emergency crews were called to the scene south of Altona at approximately 4:15 p.m. Saturday afternoon.
Pembina Valley RCMP say the investigation has determined a southbound pickup truck being driven by the 80-year-old man attempted to turn east onto PR 421 when he collided with a northbound semi-trailer being driven by a 29-year-old male.
The older man was pronounced dead on the scene. The semi driver was not injured.
Pembina Valley RCMP continue to investigate.
It was the second serious incident to take place on Hwy. 30 last week.
Altona Rhineland Emergency Services (ARES) were called to a three-vehicle crash north of town near PR 201 early Wednesday afternoon.
One person was sent airlifted to Winnipeg by STARS Air Ambulance in that collision.
