Traffic Section investigating fatal motorcycle collision

The EPS Major Collision Investigation Section continues to investigate a fatal motorcycle collision which occurred overnight.

At approximately 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 9, 2018, police believe a male motorcycle driver was travelling southbound on Anthony Henday Drive at Yellowhead Trail (Exit 25) when he struck a deer crossing the east and west lanes of the highway. The driver then allegedly lost control of his motorcycle and sustained serious injuries.

 

The 36-year-old motorcycle driver was treated and transported to hospital by EMS, where he succumbed to his injuries a short time later.

 

Police do not believe impairment was a factor in this collision.

 

All southbound lanes of Anthony Henday Drive at Yellowhead Trail have since been reopened to motorists.

 

The investigation continues.

 

Anyone with information about the collision is asked to contact the EPS at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile phone. Anonymous information can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.p3tips.com/250.
