According to the RCMP, a 51-year-old Scandia lady was died in a two-vehicle crash near Brooks, which may have been caused in part by bad road conditions.
Around 9:18 a.m. on Saturday, an SUV and pickup truck collided near the intersection of Highway 36 and Highway 542.
One of the cars had the woman as a passenger.
Seven individuals were hurt, according to the RCMP, and there were families with kids in both cars. All of them had quite critical but non-life-threatening injuries when they were brought to the hospital.
Several hours were spent with the highway closed.
According to the RCMP, the precise cause of the crash is still being looked into.
