The collision happened at the intersection of Dalhousie Drive and 54 Street N.W. near H.D. Cartwright School.
The Calgary Police Service traffic unit is investigating and said alcohol is not a factor. Police are investigating speed—whether it be related to road conditions or speed limit-related—as well as environmental factors such as glare from the sun, as the car was travelling east.
Police said the driver was a 38-year-old man.
Police said the roads were reopened just before noon.
