Alberta government to review intersection where 3 junior hockey players died in crash
Alberta's transportation ministry will assess collision data, lighting, and traffic safety after three junior hockey players died in a crash involving a semi truck, officials said.
- On Monday, the Alberta government announced it will review an intersection near Stavely where three Southern Alberta Mustangs hockey players died after their car collided with a northbound semi truck hauling two trailers of gravel.
- Jen Handley, mayor of Nanton, said many Mustangs live with billet families and such highway crossings are common, while a benefit hockey game is planned for Sunday to support the team.
- Police say RCMP are still investigating and the ministry said `This is a heartbreaking tragedy, and we want to extend our deepest condolences to everyone affected.` JJ Wright, 18, Cameron Casorso, 18, and Caden Fine, 17, died, while the truck driver received minor injuries.
- The ministry said it will examine traffic and collision data, lighting and other factors to determine whether intersection improvements are needed, noting reviews are common practice for fatal collisions.
- This report by The Canadian Press, first published Feb. 4, 2026, notes the team competes in the U.S. Premier Hockey League's Premier Division.
