As a result of the truck’s unsafe driving patterns, officers followed the truck westbound onto Jasper Avenue from 90 Street and attempted to conduct a vehicle stop. The suspect vehicle did not comply and entered into a criminal flight. The truck then allegedly began driving at a high rate of speed to evade police, running a red light at the 92 Street and Jasper Avenue intersection. The truck then continued westbound and collided with a light pole at Alex Taylor Road.
The 27-year-old male driver succumbed to his injuries on scene, while a 21-year-old female passenger was treated and transported to hospital by EMS with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.
The EPS will not be providing further comment as the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) has since taken the lead in this investigation.
