Cochrane RCMP responded to a single vehicle rollover last evening (August 15) on Highway 8 just west of Lott Creek Drive.

Constable Kary Moore, says the call came in around 10 pm last evening. "When the police arrived on scene there was one deceased male at the scene and a second male with very serious injuries was transported to a hospital in Calgary via STARS Air ambulance."

The 60 year old male passenger and the 48 year old driver were both from Calgary. The 48 year old man's injuries are listed as serious at this time.

Highway 8 was closed for roughly 45 minutes and traffic was slowed for a couple hours.

The reason for the rollover remains unknown at this time and Cst. Moore says part of the investigation will look at whether alcohol or speed were factors.

RCMP are looking for anyone who may have witnessed the accident to come forth and call the Cochrane detachment with details at 403-851-8000.
