The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) is investigating a fatal two-vehicle collision that took place earlier today in north Edmonton.

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.
