The Calgary Police Service is seeking public assistance in an early morning collision.

At approximately 3 a.m today, Monday, June 9, 2014, a passerby came across a 1997 Nissan Pathfinder near the intersection of Symons Valley Road and Kincora Glen Road N.W., adjacent to the Creekside shopping centre.  The Pathfinder was traveling northbound on Symons Valley Road when it left the roadway nearly missing a light standard and power box. The vehicle struck a tree and the fence on top of a retaining wall bordering the shopping centre. The passerby found a 29 year-old male unconscious in the vehicle and immediately called 9-1-1.
