One man killed in Hwy. 5 rollover near Magrath, Alta.
Raymond/Magrath RCMP is investigating following a Tuesday night incident near Magrath that resulted in the death of a 65-year-old man.
Around 11:20 p.m. Tuesday night, Raymond/Magrath RCMP responded to a call about a southbound vehicle driving in the northbound lane of Highway 5.
Officers patrolled Highway 5, where they discovered a number of vehicles pulled over at a curve in the highway approximately one kilometre south of the intersection of Highway 5 and Highway 52.
A car was located in the west ditch along Highway 5.
