A 36-year-old woman has been given a ticket for failing to stop at a stop sign after a fatal collision earlier this year.
On Wednesday morning, Edmonton police provided an update to a collision that happened in the area of 105 Street and 77 Avenue on April 22.
Officers said an 88-year-old man was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after the SUV he was driving was struck by a car that failed to stop at a stop sign.
The force of the crash caused the man’s SUV to spin around, go up onto the curb and hit a street sign, fence and four other vehicles.
The 88-year-old man died in hospital on May 1 due to medical complications, police said on Wednesday.
