  • Two dead after truck carrying seven teens crashes in eastern Alberta
 

A 19-year-old and a 17-year-old are dead after police say a truck carrying seven teens crashed in eastern Alberta.

RCMP say officers responded to the single-vehicle crash early Sunday on a township road near Consort, approximately 260 km northeast of Calgary.

They say there were seven teenage occupants in the truck with various injuries, and two of them died.

Both were male and were from Consort, police say.

RCMP say their preliminary investigation suggests alcohol was a factor.

They say they are still investigating and are offering condolences to the victims' families, friends and loved ones.
