RCMP are investigating a fatal Perimeter Highway crash

A man was killed in a wrong-way crash in Perimeter Thursday morning, police said.

RCMP say they were called to the perimeter near Lagimodier Boulevard around 4:40 a.m. for a report of a vehicle traveling eastbound in the westbound direction.

As officers headed to the area, RCMP received a second call about a collision at the same location.

Police arrived to find the truck in the westbound lane. Officers say he was driving in the wrong lane, crossing the median from the eastbound lanes, then crossing the westbound lanes and crashing into a concrete divider on the side of the road at a high rate of speed.

The 34-year-old man who was driving the car was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said.

Officers say he was the only person in the vehicle and no other vehicles were involved in the crash.

Mounties continues to investigate.
