Driver charged after fatal crash in Drumheller

Drumheller RCMP has completed an investigation on a crash that happened last year.

According to police, the crash was on November 14 on Highway 9 near Highway 836 between a detached semi-tractor truck and a sedan.

"Unfortunately, the driver of the sedan was declared deceased at the scene," wrote RCMP.

The crash led to the highway shutting down for several hours as police investigated the scene.

Following the investigation, the semi-truck driver, Navdeep Gakhal, has been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, and an unnamed offence under the Traffic Safety Act.

The 37-year-old Airdrie resident was released from custody and is expected to appear at a Drumheller court in March.
