A seven-week-old has been left an orphan in a head-on collision south of Cochrane, Alta., that claimed the lives of her parents, RCMP said Saturday

The baby and her parents were in a car that was eastbound on Highway 8 when it crossed the centre line and hit a westbound pickup truck on Friday night, witnesses told the RCMP.

The 54-year-old driver of the truck is listed in serious but stable condition in hospital, the Mounties said in a release. The little girl is also listed in serious but stable condition.

It is not believed that drugs, alcohol or speed were contributing factors in the collision, police said, adding the investigation is continuing.
