EDMONTON – A 27-year-old man was killed early Saturday morning in a collision in west Edmonton.

Officers say a Pontiac Grand Prix was heading west on 132 Avenue when it entered the intersection on a red light. It was speeding at the time, police said. As it was going through the intersection, the Grand Prix hit a Nissan Sentra, which was heading north on 127 Street.
Police say both vehicles spun out of control and the Grand Prix hit a large wooden post in the northwest corner of the intersection.
The 27-year-old man driving the Grand Prix was pronounced dead at the scene. Police say he was not wearing a seatbelt.
