At approximately 10:09 a.m. on Friday, May 23, 2025, a white Cadillac Escalade was travelling northbound on 97 Street when it struck a white Honda Civic turning from 97 Street southbound onto 165 Avenue eastbound.
EMS responded, treated and transported the 71-year-old male driver of the Civic to hospital with life-threatening injuries, where he was declared deceased. The 16-year-old male driver of the Escalade was also transported to hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
EPS Major Collision Investigations Section (MCIS) has since charged the 16-year-old male driver with dangerous operation causing death under the Criminal Code of Canada and drive uninsured motor vehicle on a highway, operate unregistered motor vehicle, and fail to hold a valid operator’s license under the Traffic Safety Act. The driver was served an Appearance Notice.
Speed is believed to be a factor in this collision.
