Police in southeastern British Columbia say one person is dead after a highway crash just outside the community of Field, B.C., near the Alberta boundary.
RCMP say the two-vehicle crash on Thursday involved a pick-up truck carrying two people from the United States and a minivan with three people from Alberta.
They say evidence at the scene suggests the truck crossed the centre line of Highway 1, hitting the oncoming van.
Everyone involved was taken to hospital, including two who were airlifted to Calgary.
Police say the passenger of the pick-up truck has since died from her injuries, while the other four people remain in hospital in stable, yet "serious" condition.
The Mounties are asking any witnesses of the crash at around 12:20 p.m. Thursday near Emerald Lake Road to contact Golden-Field RCMP.
RCMP says local detachment members are investigating the cause of the crash alongside BC Highway Patrol's collision reconstructionist service and the BC Coroners Service.
