Here are some of the photos of the two Penner trucks involved with the propane truck that closed the road near Jasper last week.

Brutal mess. The cab was basically ripped off the propane truck.

The investigation has revealed a propane truck was traveling west bound, when it collided with two eastbound commercial tractor-trailer units. The collision with the first eastbound commercial tractor-trailer unit was on the passenger side in a head-on, sideswipe type collision. The propane truck then continued east, colliding head-on with a second commercial tractor-trailer unit.

The driver of the propane truck, Larry BASSARABA, 59 years of age, from Valemount, B.C., sustained fatal injuries in the collision and was pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the first commercial tractor-trailer unit sustained only minor injuries, was treated in Jasper and was released. The driver of the second commercial tractor-trailer unit sustained serious injuries and was transported to the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton, where he remains in critical condition.

Nuts. Never a good feeling coming up on a accident of that caliber. I've been the first on the scene of a couple serious ( non fatality) and it's
Gut wrenching.
