A teenage girl is dead and a teen boy is in hospital after they were discovered unconscious in a vehicle southwest of Edmonton.
Drayton Valley RCMP say an officer responding to an unrelated call to a building early Thursday morning spotted a parked vehicle with the engine running.
There was a strong smell of exhaust fumes when the officer looked inside and found the 17-year-old male driver and his 16-year-old female passenger.
The girl was pronounced dead at hospital, while the boy was airlifted to Edmonton in critical condition.
Police do not suspect any criminal activity in the case.
The vehicle will undergo a mechanical inspection next Wednesday.
