Valleyview Man Killed In Crash Involving A Snow Plow And Semi

February 22, 2012

A 28-year old Valleyview man is dead -- killed in a collision this around 8:30 this morning between a semi and a snowplow near that community.

Mounties say the plow driver was headed northbound on Range Road 222, approaching a stop sign at Highway 665 when a semi westbound on that highway hit the plow at the intersection.

The transport wound up in the ditch and rolled onto the driver who was thrown from the cab.

Police say visibility was reduced at the time because of heavy snowfall and wind, and that the semi driver may not have been wearing his seatbelt.

There's no information on the driver of the plow -- a 63-year old Valleyview man.

The investigation continues
