A 31-year-old man is dead following a two-vehicle crash near Fraser Lake Thursday morning.

The highway will be closed in both directions for an undetermined amount of time as a North District collision re-constructionist is on route to the scene.

Cause of the crash is under investigation at this time and more details may be provided once known.
