On April 5, 2026, shortly before 5 p.m., Gleichen RCMP received a concern for the well-being check regarding a person observed in a rural ditch along Range Road 233, south of Township Road 232 just northwest of Gleichen.
Gleichen RCMP attended and located a male, who was confirmed deceased. Further police investigation revealed that the male was travelling westbound on Township Road 232 when the vehicle crossed into a southern ditch, struck a culvert, and came to a stop in a field. Evidence suggests the 66-year-old male resident of Siksika First Nation, attempted to walk from the scene of the single motor vehicle collision until he succumbed to his injuries. The male did not possess a cell phone. The police investigation remains ongoing.
