Two women were killed Tuesday night in a two-vehicle crash on the Sherwood Park Freeway, Edmonton police said.

The women — both 69 — were the driver and passenger in a minivan that was turning left onto 71st Street around 6:50 p.m. when it collided with a Ford panel van that was proceeding through a green light.

The 23-year-old male driver of the van suffered minor injuries.

The women are Edmonton's 29th and 30th traffic fatalities of 2009.

Police are still investigating how the collision occurred.
