A multi-vehicle fatal crash closed Dewdney Trunk Road between 224th and 225th Streets Sunday morning.
Police said the male driver of one vehicle died, while three other people were transported to hospital with what were believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.
More details were expected to be released Monday.
Various vehicles and crash debris were spread out along the roadway, directly in front of the government buildings, including the RCMP, city hall, and library.
The area was expected to be cordoned off for several hours to both pedestrian and vehicle traffic while police investigate, and motorists were being encouraged to avoid the area.
