On Friday, August 5th, RCMP along with fire crews and EMS responded to a fatal collision on Yankee Valley Blvd and East Lake Blvd.

At just after 8pm, police say that a man driving a black Corvette attempted a turn on Yankee Valley eastbound approaching East Lake Blvd, but failed to negotiate it.

The vehicle eventually collided with a tree off the roadway after the unsuccessful turn.

The lone occupant of the vehicle, an adult male, was pronounced dead at the scene.

RCMP are not releasing the name of the deceased at this time and believe that speed was a factor in this collision.
