Police say a driver is dead and another sustained life-threatening injuries in a head-on collision on the highway in Sturgeon County early Wednesday morning.

Redwater RCMP say it happened around 5:40 a.m. on Highway 825, just north of Township Road 560 — about 30 kilometres northeast of Edmonton.

A 31-year-old man from Fort Saskatchewan was pronounced dead at the scene.
