Police seek witnesses and dashcam footage in serious-injury collision

Our Traffic Unit continues to investigate after a two-vehicle collision resulted in three people being transported to hospital last weekend.

Shortly after midnight on the morning of Saturday, April 20, 2024, a serious-injury collision occurred at the intersection of 16 Avenue and First Street N.E.

It is believed a 2020 Audi S5, driven by a 21-year-old man with a 19-year-old female passenger, was travelling eastbound at a high rate of speed along 16 Avenue N.E. At the same time, a 2020 Honda Civic, operated by a 29-year-old woman, was travelling westbound on 16 Avenue N.E. waiting to turn south onto First Street N.E.

It is believed the Honda was struck by the Audi while trying to turn, causing the Honda to spin and come to a rest on the median facing eastbound. The Audi mounted the curb and struck a building along 16 Avenue N.E.

The driver of the Honda was transported to hospital with serious injuries. The driver of the Audi was transported to hospital for treatment of minor injuries, and the passenger was also transported to hospital with serious injuries.

Speed is being investigated as a factor in the collision; alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the collision.

Anyone who witnessed the collision or who may have dashcam footage from the area at the time of the incident is asked to contact police by calling 403-266-1234, or by calling the Traffic Section at 403-428-4000.
