Elderly female motorist succumbs to injuries from multi-vehicle collision

An elderly woman has succumbed to injuries sustained during a multi-vehicle collision that occurred in southwest Edmonton back on Aug. 3, 2018. Major Collision Investigation Section (MCIS) continues to investigate the collision, which saw an 86-year-old female motorist sustain life-threatening injuries, after the 1996 Toyota Tercel she was driving collided with several parked vehicles in southwest Edmonton.

The motorist’s vehicle was travelling northbound on 109 Street and approaching 29 Avenue, at approximately 9:30 a.m. on Aug. 3, when she failed to negotiate the curving road, before colliding with the parked vehicles.

Investigators believe the elderly motorist was driving at such a high rate of speed that the impact with the Ford F150 then created a chain of collisions with two other vehicles parked in front, including a 2016 Toyota Scion and a 2018 Nissan Sentra.

Thankfully, all three parked vehicles were unoccupied at the time of the collision.

The elderly motorist was treated and transported to hospital by paramedics with life-threatening injuries, at that time. The woman eventually succumbed to her injuries on Aug. 17, 2018.
