A 91-year-old man is dead after a crash in northeast Calgary Friday morning.

Police think a pre-existing medical condition caused the elderly man to run a stop sign at Beddington Boulevard and Beddington Drive around 10:00 a.m.

The van he was driving hit a car and then flipped onto its roof.

Along with the elderly driver, a 62-year-old man in the van suffered minor injuries. The woman in the car that was hit wasn’t hurt.

The name of the victim will be released once next of kin have been notified.

The traffic unit continues to investigate.
