78-year-old man dead in single-vehicle crash off off Anderson Road S.W.
One person is dead after a single-vehicle collision early Monday morning, on an exit ramp off Anderson Road S.W.
"It is believed a 2008 grey Nissan Altima, driven by a 78-year-old man, was travelling west on Anderson Road S.W., when the man failed to negotiate the southward bend in the roadway leading on to Buffalo Run Boulevard S.W.," police said in a release issued Monday afternoon.
"The Nissan continued westward, leaving the roadway and struck a retaining wall, which is part of the bridge deck structure of Tsuut'ina Trail S.W. The vehicle rolled over several times before coming to a rest.
"Upon police arrival, the man was located outside of the vehicle and pronounced deceased on-scene."
Impairment and excessive speed aren't considered factors in the collision, police say, and investigation into exactly what went wrong is ongoing.
Anyone with relevant information or dash-cam footage is asked to call police at 403-266-1234 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
