Soldier killed in traffic accident identified
Trish Audette, Edmonton Journal
Published: Tuesday, February 13, 2007
The 35-year-old Edmonton soldier killed yesterday in a traffic collision has been identified as Cpl. Robert Lomond.

Lomond was driving south on Highway 28, near Sturgeon Road, early Monday morning when an oncoming pickup truck crossed the centre line and hit his car.
He died at the scene.

The pickup truck driver, a 41-year-old man, remains in critical condition at the University of Alberta hospital today.
Morinville RCMP are still piecing together how the collision occurred. They say alcohol was not a factor and road conditions and visibility were good at the time of the accident, 7:30 a.m.
