A serious collision reported earlier Thursday morning has resulted in the death of a 21 year old male driver.

A collision occured on a grid road one mile south and one mile east of Beechy. The 21 year old male, driving a pickup truck, collided with a westbound semi trailer unit.

The lone 50 year old male driver of the semi unit was treated on scene for minor injuries.

An RCMP collision restructionist continues to investigate.

An environmental cleanup is underway after it was discovered a smaller amount of motor oil leaked from the tanker the semi was hauling.

The grid road will remain blocked for several more hours until cleanup is completed.
