A 73-year-old man from Wiseton who was driving one of the SUVs was declared dead at the scene by paramedics, police said.
The crash also claimed the life of a 65-year-old Furdale woman who was a passenger in the other SUV. That vehicle’s driver was taken to hospital by STARS helicopter with serious injuries.
The second crash, which happened west of Laura just before 11 p.m., involved a collision between an SUV and a pickup truck.
The SUV’s driver, a 42-year-old man from Airdrie, Alta., was declared dead at the scene by first responders.
The driver of the truck was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
In both cases, stretches of Highway 7 were closed during the initial investigation, but the route since reopened to traffic. The RCMP said the crashes remain under investigation, with help from a police collision reconstruction expert.
