The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) is seeking the public's assistance identifying the occupants of a forklift that was involved in a fatal hit-and-run collision last week.

At approximately 12:05 a.m. on Aug. 29, 2026 (late Friday night into Saturday morning), an unidentified male was operating a stolen forklift along 140 Avenue near 134 Street while two other males were riding the forklift.
