The Prince George RCMP and North District Traffic Services responded to a fatal two-vehicle crash near Norman Lake.
It happened at 4:15 pm yesterday where a Toyota pick-up truck crossed the centre line and made contact with a Ford Escape.
According to police, the head-on collision resulted in the death of the pick-up truck driver, which turned out to be a 23-year-old man.
Both people inside the Escape were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
While the investigation continues, police have confirmed the pick-up truck was reported stolen from Prince George a few weeks before the accident.
The highway was briefly shut down but has since been re-opened.
