A pickup truck had been driving westbound on Glenmore when it attempted a lane change but sideswiped another vehicle before it crossed the centre median, police say.

The truck then veered into oncoming traffic, hitting a Jeep head-on, Staff Sgt. Paul Stacey said. A third vehicle, heading east at the time, was also hit in the aftermath.

The driver of the Jeep, a man believed to be in his 60s, was declared dead at the scene. Fire crews extricated a woman from the vehicle and rushed her to hospital in life-threatening condition.

The driver of the truck, who was not injured after the head-on crash, is in police custody to take a breathalyzer test.
