RCMP looking for truck connected to fatal collision northwest of Edmonton
Posted March 4, 2026 4:56 pm.
Alberta RCMP say they are looking for a Ford F150 that is believed to be connected to a fatal collision on Highway 49 on Feb. 18.
Mounties believe the collision took place between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. on Feb. 18, just south of Highway 676 in the MD of Smoky River — around 383 km northwest of Edmonton.
Through an investigation, Mounties were able to obtain dashcam footage, which showed a Black Ford F150 overtaking a semi-truck that was hauling lumber. This reportedly led to the F150 being on a collision course with another semi that was hauling a tanker full of petroleum.
The semi attempted to avoid the pickup, which caused it to rollover in the northbound ditch. The driver was later declared dead.
RCMP have described the pickup truck as a newer model black Ford F150 with black rims, a black soft rollup cover over the truck bed, and silver trim on the grill, side vent covers, and side mirrors.
If anyone has any information regarding the pickup truck, they are asked to contact investigators at 780-324-3061 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
