Speed, alcohol possible factors in Glenmore Trail crash that left man, 18, dead: police
Speed and alcohol are possible factors in a fatal crash on Glenmore Trail on Monday night, according to police.
Emergency crews responded to the eastbound lanes of Glenmore Trail S.W., west of the Crowchild Trail S.W. junction, around 9:45 p.m. for a crash involving a car and a stationary crane vehicle.
Police believe a 2018 BMW M240i, driven by a 19-year-old man, was travelling eastbound on Glenmore Trail when it veered into the right shoulder of the road and hit the crane.
The crane had broken down, and the operator, a man in his 30s, was trying to repair it on the side of the road.
Two passengers were inside the car at the time of the crash, an 18-year-old man and a 21-year-old man.
The 18-year-old passenger was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition, where he later died.
The driver was also taken to hospital with serious injuries, while the 21-year-old was treated for minor injuries. The crane operator was not injured.
Charges against the driver of the car are pending.
Police continue to investigate the crash. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 403-266-1234. Tips can also be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers.
