Police investigate serious-injury pedestrian collision

Our Traffic Section continues to investigate after a pedestrian collision left a man in life-threatening condition.

On Monday, Oct. 21, 2024, at approximately 11:25 p.m., police were called for reports of a collision that occurred at the intersection of 17 Avenue S.E. and 52 Street S.E.

At the time, it is believed a man and a woman were walking southbound crossing 17 Avenue S.E., in or near the marked crosswalk on the east side of the intersection.  

At the same time, a 2023 Toyota RAV 4 was turning from northbound 52 Street S.E. onto eastbound 17 Avenue S.E., when the male pedestrian was struck by the vehicle.

The vehicle struck a light post and a signpost before coming to a rest on the sidewalk.

The man was transported to hospital in life-threatening condition. Neither the female pedestrian or the driver of the RAV 4 were injured and both remained at the scene.

Both speed and alcohol are not considered to be factors in this collision at this time.

Police are asking anyone who may have witnessed the collision or who may have dashcam footage of the incident to contact police by calling 403-266-1234. Tips can also be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers through any of the following methods:
