EDMONTON — Two men in their 20s were taken to hospital in serious condition Sunday afternoon after a single-vehicle collision on the southwest leg of Anthony Henday Drive.
The rollover happened around 4:50 p.m. Police say an Audi A4 was heading west on the Henday near the Cameron Heights overpass when it lost control, crossed into the eastbound lanes and hit a light standard.
The driver and passenger of the car suffered serious injuries in the crash.
“One male was ejected from the vehicle and has been transported to hospital by STARS Air Ambulance,” said Anna Batchelor, Edmonton Police Service. “The second male sustained serious injuries as well, and was treated and transported to hospital by Emergency Medical Services.”
The eastbound lanes of Anthony Henday Drive, between 184 Street and Terwillegar Drive, were shut down to traffic Sunday evening, and westbound traffic was reduced to one lane until after 11 p.m.
The eastbound lanes were re-opened early Monday morning.
The EPS Major Collision Investigation Unit is investigating, but officers believe speed was a factor in the collision.
Anyone with information on the crash is asked to contact the EPS at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile phone.
