Northeast Division patrol members responded to a collision call near the on-ramp, at approximately 7:20 a.m. this morning, Monday, November 19, 2018.
Although the investigation is still in the preliminary stages, it was reported to police that a 2002 Dodge Caravan being driven by a 19-year-old male, lost control and struck a nearby light standard on the on-ramp to the Yellowhead eastbound at Victoria Trail.
Paramedics treated and transported the male driver, the sole occupant of the vehicle, to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Alcohol and drugs are not considered factors in the collision, though investigators believe speed may have been a cause.

Major Collision Investigation Section (MCIS) has since taken over the investigation, and is asking anyone who witnessed the collision to contact the EPS.
