16-year-old boy killed in Stoney Trail crash
The single-vehicle collision happened as the teen was driving near 69 Street S.W.
Investigators say the teen's sedan left the westbound lanes while approaching the exit to Highway 8, entering the grassy median and hitting the support post for an overhead directional sign.
The vehicle then caught fire.
The teen driver, the only person in the vehicle at the time, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say excessive speed is being investigated as a possible factor.
Anyone with information on the crash is asked to call police at 403-266-1234.
