Investigation underway into fatal collision involving pedestrian
An investigation is underway into a fatal collision involving a pedestrian in Edmonton Friday afternoon. At around 3:30 p.m., a 60-year-old man was walking north on the curb parallel to the southbound lanes on 50 Street near 40 Avenue. A Toyota Tundra driven by a 39-year-old man driving south in the curb lane along 50 Street hit the pedestrian when, police were told, the man stepped into the southbound lane. EMS and EPS personnel tried lifesaving measures on scene and the injured man was transported to hospital where he died. The driver of the Tundra wasn't injured and remained on scene. Police believe neither excessive speed or alcohol are factors in the collision.
