One person has died and two were injured in a crash on Highway 1 west of Golden, B.C., Tuesday.

Mounties say a car heading east lost control and spun out into oncoming traffic, where it collided with a pickup truck heading west.

The driver of the eastbound car was pronounced dead at the scene.

Both occupants of the pickup truck suffered serious injuries. One of the occupants was airlifted to hospital.

“We would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family members of those involved in this tragic incident,” said Const. Kat Robinson, media relations officer for the Golden-Field RCMP. “This is particularly difficult around the holidays, and our hearts go out to you.”

Highway 1 remained closed for around four hours after the incident.
