Calgary police believe speed was a factor in two crashes that killed two people–including a teenage boy–on Stoney Trail.
The first incident happened on Friday, June 27, just before 10 p.m. on Stoney Trail near 69 Street SW.
Police say a 2014 sedan driven by a 16-year-old boy was heading westbound in the left lane, heading toward the Highway 8 exit, when it popped off the road toward a grassy median.
It then crashed into a directional signpost and went up in flames. He was the sole occupant of the vehicle.
While speed is believed to be a factor, investigators say drugs and alcohol aren’t being considered.
The second one happened Sunday just after 6 p.m. on Stoney Trail south of the Bow Trail interchange.
A 2001 Toyota 4 Runner, driven by a 25-year-old man, was heading south when he drove off the roadway across the grassy median and steered into the northbound lanes of Stoney Trail.
Police say the vehicle then rolled before it was struck by a 2008 Dodge Calibre being driven by a 25-year-old woman, who was heading north on Stoney.
The impact ejected the driver from the vehicle and he struck an overhead sign. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Emergency crews rushed the driver of the Dodge and the passenger, a 22-year-old man, to hospital. The driver suffered life-threatening injuries while the passenger suffered minor injuries.
Just like the first instance, investigators say drugs and alcohol aren’t considered factors.
Police ask anyone with information about these incidents to call them at 403-266-1234 or leave a tip anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
