For Immediate Release: 12-Jan-2026 @ 3:01 PM
MRU #: TR25056-1

The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) has laid charges in relation to a fatal pedestrian collision that took place in northeast Edmonton last November.

On Saturday, Nov. 15, 2025, at approximately 8:57 a.m., a 2024 Nissan Rogue was travelling southbound on 82 Street and making a left-hand turn onto 153 Avenue, when it struck a female pedestrian who was crossing 153 Avenue northbound in a marked crosswalk while walking her dog.

EMS responded, treated and transported the 58-year-old female pedestrian to hospital with serious, life-threatening injuries. Her dog ran away following the collision but was later found and returned home, unharmed, by City of Edmonton Animal Control. The 36-year-old female driver of the Rogue remained on scene and was not injured.

Sadly, the female pedestrian succumbed to her injuries in hospital.

On Sunday, Jan. 11, 2026, police charged the driver of the Nissan Rogue, Kathy Halvorsen, 36, with failure to yield to a pedestrian under Alberta’s Use of Highway and Rules of the Road Regulation as well as careless driving under the province’s Traffic Safety Act.
