The driver of a SUV was killed in a head-on collision with a logging truck on the Trans-Canada Highway west of Golden this morning.<\/p>\n
Officers were called to the crash just before 7 a.m. today, June 15, on Highway 1 near Emerald Lake Road in Field, about 45 kilometres west of Golden, according to an RCMP media release.<\/p>\n
The driver of the SUV was heading eastbound when they crossed the centre line and hit the westbound logging truck head-on.<\/p>\n
