Investigation underway into fatal collision involving pedestrian
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.

'The individual was observed on CCTV footage attempting to access vehicles on the lot and causing damage to a U-Haul cargo van,' said police in a news release. Officers reviewed the footage and gathered additional evidence at the scene before locating the suspect a short time later and taking him into custody without incident. As a result, the 19-year-old man faces charges of attempted theft of a motor vehicle and failure to comply with a probation order. The accused was held pending a bail hearing.

'This is a great example of how the community plays a key role in supporting public safety and effective policing. Prompt action played a key role in bringing this situation to a safe and timely resolution.'
