Three men, said to be in their 20s, were in the small car that collided with a tractor trailer unit. The car was travelling north on Highway 797 and pulled into the southbound lanes to pass another vehicle when the crash occurred. Two of the car’s occupants were found in critical life-threatening condition and the third in serious condition. The truck driver was not injured. At press time, the RCMP’s investigation was ongoing.
