DIDSBURY- Two Didsbury teens have died in a single-vehicle rollover south of Carstairs.

At about 5:08 p.m. on Wednesday Didsbury RCMP received a report of a collision on Township Road 292 and Range Road 14 in Mountain View County.

“Upon arrival, emergency responders located two deceased people who have been identified as a 16-year-old male and a 14-year-old female, both residents of Didsbury,” said RCMP Cpl. Troy Savinkoff.

The deceased individuals were not related, he told the Albertan.

The vehicle involved was a pickup truck.

While the investigation into the crash continues, alcohol and road conditions have been ruled out as possible causes, he said. 

“Road conditions were fine,” he said.

The investigation will involve several things, he said.

“It’s a single vehicle rollover, so typically we are going to look at the roadway itself and skid marks and so forth to try to determine a speed and what could have led to the rollover itself,” he said.

“Alberta RCMP offer their condolences to the family and friends of the deceased,” he added.
