RCMP say one person is dead following a two vehicle crash south of La Ronge on Highway 2 Thursday afternoon.

Mounties say a car was traveling north when it collided with a southbound semi-trailer 30 kilometers south of that community at approximately 1 P.M.

The lone occupant of the car was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the empty semi-truck was uninjured. An autopsy will confirm the identity of the driver, but the name is not expected to be released.
