Two 14-year-old boys killed in collision west of Edmonton

RCMP say two teenage boys are dead after a single-vehicle crash in Yellowhead County, west of Edmonton, Friday.

Police say it happened on Brule Road, west of Range Road 262 – just southwest of Hinton.

Officers arrived to find a 14-year-old boy dead. They say a second boy of the same age was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition, where he died of his injuries.

Hinton RCMP are investigating the cause of the collision.

RCMP Const. Kelsey Davidge says there were three youths – all under 18 – in the vehicle at the time of the crash. Davidge did not have information on the age of the third youth, or who was driving the vehicle.

The collision happened about 300 kilometres west of Edmonton.
