At approximately 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, August 9, 2025, police were notified of a single vehicle collision on the southbound portion of Anthony Henday Drive near the highway 14 overpass, in the southeast quadrant of Edmonton. A Chevrolet Cruze reportedly struck a light standard and caught fire. Witnesses to the collision pulled the 23-year-old male driver from the vehicle and attempted lifesaving measures. Sadly, he died on scene.
Police subsequently received reports of a suspect vehicle that had been seen travelling north in the southbound lanes of the Henday, and was believed to have caused the collision. The suspect car, a Chevrolet Cavalier, was later intercepted by Strathcona County RCMP traveling northbound in the southbound lanes of Anthony Henday Drive just south of the Sherwood Park Freeway. The 23-year-old female driver was arrested and is facing charges of dangerous driving causing death and impaired driving.
EPS Major Collisions Investigations Section (MCIS) is investigating the collision.
