A 41-year-old woman was killed and a child was injured after two vehicles collided with a moose late Sunday night on a northern Alberta highway, RCMP say. Officers were called to the scene on Highway 63 near Township Road 622, about 115 kilometres northeast of Edmonton, Redwater RCMP said in a news release Wednesday. A car was heading south through Thorhild County at about 11:30 p.m. when the vehicle collided with a moose. Since mid-July, five people have been killed on Alberta highways as a result of collisions involving moose. On July 28, a 29-year-old man was killed in central Alberta after hitting a moose while driving on Highway 619 at Range Road 110 near Viking, Alta., about 140 kilometres southeast of Edmonton.
