A motor vehicle accident claimed the life of a Bowden man over the weekend of January 14 / 15.

Innisfail and Olds RCMP were called to the scene of a fatal motor vehicle accident on January 15, around 3 pm. The accident happened on Hwy 587 just north of Bowden. A Dodge Dakota west bound on Hwy 587, crossed the centre line and collided with an east-bound semi. 

The male driver of the Dodge, 45-year-old Richard Sorensen of Bowden, died at the scene. The driver of the semi was not injured. The investigation continues, but it's not believed speed or the winter driving conditions were a factor in the accident.
