Fatal crash on Pyramid Lake Road

A 26-year-old male has died of his injuries and one person has been charged with impaired driving after a single vehicle rolled over on Pyramid Lake Road early this morning.

On September 19, at 2:30 a.m., Jasper RCMP responded to a report of a single vehicle roll over on Pyramid Lake Road. Officers arrived on scene and discovered a heavily damaged sedan that had been occupied by four occupants. 

One passenger, a 26-year-old male, was determined to have suffered serious injuries and was immediately transported to hospital, but was later pronounced deceased as a result of the incident, according to Jasper RCMP.  

The driver of the vehicle has since been arrested for the impaired operation of a motor vehicle causing death, dangerous operation causing death and failing to comply with a breath demand.

With the assistance of Parks Canada, Pyramid Lake Road remained closed as members of the RCMP Collision Analyst Team and Critical Crash Investigation Team responded to the area. 

This is a developing story.
