On Friday, July 27, 2018 the man was operating a 1964 Chevelle Malibu eastbound on Yellowhead Trail from 124 Street just before 8 p.m. Investigators determined that the Chevelle was reportedly racing against a silver sports car.
As the two vehicles approached the CN Rail overpass just west of 121 Street, the Malibu driver lost control of his vehicle, which spun out and crossed the centre median into the westbound lanes of Yellowhead Trail.
At the same time a 48-year-old male was driving a semi-tractor pulling two trailers. The Malibu’s passenger side collided with the tractor and caused the driver – who was not wearing a seatbelt - to be ejected out of his vehicle under the trailer’s tires and undercarriage. The 55-year-old man sustained life-threatening injuries and was declared deceased by paramedics at the scene. The semi-tractor driver did not sustain any injuries.
Investigators have determined speed was a factor in the collision.
Investigators continue to try and identify the driver of the silver sports car who did not remain at the scene of the collision.
Anyone with information about the silver sports car and/or its driver 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.tipsubmit.com/start.htm.
