A multi-vehicle collision which closed the Alaska Highway north of Taylor on Wednesday has claimed a life.
Just after 8:00 Wednesday morning, two pick-up trucks travelling in opposite directions collided with each other head-on.
When emergency crews arrived at the scene, near the intersection with 259 Road, they found both drivers, and a passenger trapped in their respective vehicles.
Crews were able to extract both drivers and have them transported to hospital with serious injuries, while the passenger had suffered minor injuries.
One of the drivers has since succumbed to his injuries while at the Fort St John hospital.
An investigation in to the incident is on-going and anyone with information is being asked to contact Fort St John RCMP at 250 787 8140.
