Speed and alcohol believed to be factors in fatal collision

Our Traffic Unit is investigating a fatal collision that occurred yesterday in southeast Calgary.

At about 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2025, a 2011 Mitsubishi RVR, driven by a man in his 40s, was travelling westbound on Glenmore Trail S.E. near the Blackfoot Trail S.E. interchange when it struck the rear of a Jeep Wrangler.

The Mitsubishi then struck a concrete median, rolled over, struck the barrier a second time and slid onto its roof.

The driver of the Mitsubishi, who investigators believe was not wearing a seatbelt, was pronounced deceased at the scene. The Jeep Wrangler sustained minor damage. The driver was not injured and remained at the scene.

Speed and alcohol impairment on the part of the Mitsubishi driver are believed to be factors in the collision.

December’s focus in the Alberta Traffic Safety Calendar is impaired driving. This is Calgary’s 36th fatal collision in 2025 and the sixth suspected to involve impairment.
