Motorcycle crash marks 21st fatal collision this year
A Wednesday crash involving a motorcycle and sedan in north Edmonton marks the 21st fatal crash the city has seen this year. Officers responded to a collision in the area of 82 Street and 167 Avenue shortly before 6 p.m. It was reported to Edmonton police that a Nissan Versa driven by a 40-year-old man was northbound, stopped at a green light waiting to turn left. The front passenger side wheel of the Nissan was struck by a Suzuki GSXR600 driven by a 25-year-old man as he entered the intersection travelling southbound on 82 Street. The motorcyclist was thrown from the bike. Witnesses attempted CPR on the man until Edmonton Fire Rescue Services arrived followed by EMS. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Nissan was treated and transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The Major Collision Investigation Section (MCIS) of the Edmonton Police Service is investigating the collision. Speed is believed to be a factor. 'This is the 21st life lost on our roads this year. Behind every number is a family changed forever,' said MCIS Acting Staff Sgt. Kam Patel. '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.' The city's number of fatal crashes is on track to surpass those in recent years. Twenty-six people were killed in crashes in 2024, and 27 the year before.
