Police investigate fatal collision

Police are investigating after a 79-year-old man succumbed to injuries following a collision earlier last month. 

On Saturday, Aug. 22, 2026, at approximately 1:50 p.m., the man was driving a 2015 BMW south on Crowchild Trail, N.W., when he suddenly slowed near 32 Avenue N.W. 

As a result, a 2024 Toyota Tacoma, also travelling south in the same lane, driven by a 57-year-old man, rear-ended the BMW.  The BMW’s driver sustained serious injuries and was taken to hospital. He died in hospital on Saturday, Aug. 29, 2026. 

The driver of the Toyota, along with his two nine-year-old passengers, sustained minor injuries. 

Speed, alcohol, and drugs do not appear to be factors in this collision. However, the medical fitness of the BMW driver is being investigated. 

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact police by calling 403-266-1234. Tips can also be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers through any of the following methods:
