A driver is in critical condition after a three-vehicle collision approaching a traffic circle at 107 Avenue and 142 Street in Edmonton.

The crash happened at around 8:15 a.m.

Police said a sedan driven by a 68-year-old man was heading west on 107 Avenue approaching the traffic circle when it collided with a truck and then hit an SUV in the traffic circle.

“It is believed that the sedan was travelling at a high rate of speed as the driver may have been experiencing a medical episode,” police said.

The driver of the sedan and a passenger were taken to hospital — the 68-year-old man in critical condition and the passenger with non-life-threatening injuries. No one else was hurt.
