BorderPulse was on scene at 62 Avenue and 44 Street shortly after a collision between a Cadillac SUV and a transport truck Friday morning.
The Cadillac had suffered serious damage to the driver’s side and a smashed rear window, and had come to rest on the northwest corner of the intersection.
The transport truck, registered out of Winnipeg, Manitoba, was stopped about 150 feet west of the crash site.
RCMP have since confirmed the cause. A 16-year-old female Lloydminster resident has been ticketed for an unsafe lane change following the crash, which happened around 8:50 a.m.
Lloydminster RCMP, fire crews and EMS responded. No one appeared to be taken to hospital by EMS at the scene.
Westbound lanes were reduced while crews cleared the intersection. Traffic backed up toward the BVD Truck Stop, formerly the Husky location.
A witness who was stopped at the intersection told BorderPulse they believed the truck had a green light when the collision happened.
“I was in the intersection waiting to turn left when I heard the bang,” the witness said.
The witness’s account is consistent with RCMP’s finding.
The ticket can be contested in court. RCMP have not released further details.
