The Edmonton Police Service is investigating a fatal collision that killed a 25-year-old man.
Officers were called about 5:50 p.m. Wednesday to a report of a collision near 82 Street and 167 Avenue, police said in a Thursday release.
Police say a Nissan Versa was driving north on 82 Street and stopped at a green light, waiting to turn left, when a Suzuki GSXR600 motorcycle driving south entered the intersection and struck the front passenger side of the Nissan.
The motorcyclist was thrown from the bike.
A witness attempted CPR on the motorcyclist before EMS and Edmonton Fire Rescue Services arrived to take over. However, the motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the Nissan, a 40-year-old man, was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Speed is believed to be a factor in the crash, police said.
Acting Staff Sgt. Kam Patel said in the release that this fatality brings the total fatal collisions so far this year to 21.
'These collisions don't just impact families, they leave a mark on those who respond to them. We want to thank the witnesses who stepped in to perform CPR, and the first responders who did everything they could on the scene,' Patel said.
