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.
The major collision investigative section (MCIS) is investigating.
The crash closed the traffic circle for several hours on Thursday morning.
Just before noon, police said the traffic circle was open to traffic and the investigation had concluded.
