Cochrane RCMP say they're looking at all possible contributing factors in a single vehicle rollover last night (March 24) which killed a man and sent a woman to hospital on the Stoney First Nation,.

Police say around 8:15 pm, they were called to the collision on Eagle Hill Road at Highway 1A.  

A van carrying two people was travelling southwest on Eagle Hill Road when it lost control on gravel and rolled several times down an embankment and came to rest on its wheels.  The 34 year old male driver from Stoney First Nation was ejected from his seat, but remained with the vehicle.  He was pronounced dead at the scene.

An adult female passenger in her 20s was taken to Foothills Hospital in Calgary by ambulance in non-life threatening condition.

Cochrane RCMP say next of kin have been notified.  No names are being released at this time.  

Traffic was temporarily stopped at the scene but the road has since re-opened.  

The collision remains under investigation.
