The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) is investigating the first fatal collision of the year.

At approximately 10:15 a.m., Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2026, police responded to the report of a pedestrian collision in the area of 115 Street and 107 Avenue. It was reported that a 78-year-old woman was crossing near the intersection on 107 Avenue on a part of the roadway where crossing is prohibited. While the female was crossing the street, she was struck by a 76-year-old male driver of a 2023 GMC Savana travelling westbound on 107 Avenue.

EMS responded, treated and transported the 78-year-old female pedestrian to hospital where she sadly succumbed to her injuries. The driver of the GMC Savana did not report any injuries.

EPS Major Collision Investigations Section (MCIS) continues to investigate. Speed and alcohol are not believed to be factors in this collision.
