A Lethbridge, Alta., man has died and two people were rushed to hospital after a vehicle rollover east of the city Friday morning, police said in a release.
Police were called to Range Road 212 about a kilometre north of Highway 3 at about 10 a.m.
Investigators believe a southbound Ford Escape lost control, hit an embankment and rolled onto its roof.
A 73-year-old man died at the scene, while two other people in the vehicle were taken by ambulance to a Lethbridge hospital with serious injuries.
Traffic was rerouted for hours while a reconstructionist worked with Coaldale RCMP on the investigation.
Police are not releasing the name of the deceased man.
