At approximately 7:25 a.m., today, Monday, July 8, 2024, a collision occurred between a 2006 Honda CBR600 and a 2003 Toyota Corolla at the intersection of 14 Street N.W. and 64 Avenue N.W.

At the time, the motorcycle, driven by a 24-year-old man, was travelling southbound on 14 Street N.W., approaching the intersection.

At the same time, the Toyota Corolla, driven by an 84-year-old woman, was entering the intersection from the northbound turn lane of 14 Street N.W., turning left into the parking lot of Nose Hill Park.
