The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) is investigating after a June 24 collision in north Edmonton resulted in a fatality.
At approximately 5:55 p.m. on June 24, 2026, Northwest Branch Patrol officers responded to a two-vehicle collision in the Rosslyn area. It was reported to police that a 2024 Kia Seltos was travelling north on 97 Street, and the driver attempted to make a left turn onto 132 Avenue westbound when it collided with a 2011 Kia Optima that was travelling southbound on 97 Street.
EMS responded, treated and transported the 81-year-old male driver of the Seltos to hospital with serious injuries where he remained in stable condition. The 22-year-old male driver and 21-year-old female passenger of the Optima were also taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and have since been released.
Sadly, on July 4, 2026, the 81-year-old man succumbed to his injuries in hospital.
The EPS Major Collision Investigations Section (MCIS) has taken over the investigation and is seeking witnesses or dashcam footage from anyone traveling in the area at the time.
Witnesses or motorists with dashcam footage related to this collision are asked to contact EPS at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile phone.
Impairment is not believed to be a factor in this collision.
