One man is dead after the stolen vehicle he was driving collided head on with a semi-truck on the Trans-Canada Highway.

According to RCMP the incident occured just before 7:30 a.m. on March 28, 4 kilometres west of Feild.

Emergency crews responded and confirmed that the male driver of the car was deceased. The driver of the semi-truck was not injured.

鈥淎t this time we believe that the passenger car, a White 2 door Infiniti G35, crossed the centre line into the oncoming lane,鈥� says Sergeant Rob Haney with the RCMP Trans-Canada East Traffic Services unit.

Police can also confirm that the car had been stolen out of Calgary earlier in the week.

The Trans-Canada Highway was closed for several hours to allow for emergency services to respond and for the investigation to be completed.
