ASIRT is investigating a fatal collision in Hinton yesterday, because it happened when a vehicle was being chased by police.
Clifton Purvis is the Executive Director of the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team, and says, investigators will be talking with eye-witnesses, as well as with anyone else who might be able to shed light on what - exactly - happened: "Dispatchers that may have been providing assistance to the police officers involved. Both police vehicles were equipped with video camera recording equipment. We've secured that evidence so we have a very clear visual of what the police were looking at."
A stolen vehicle, heading westbound in the east-bound lanes through Hinton, slammed head-on into a pick-up truck killing both drivers on impact.
Purvis says the ASIRT probe won't be completed for months because some of the forensic tests which need to be done, take weeks or months before the results are obtained.
No names or home towns have been released.
