A 24-year-old man is dead after a crash early Saturday in south Edmonton.
In a release, Edmonton police said officers were called around 2:30 a.m. for a report of a two-vehicle crash in the area of 41 Avenue S.W. and Highway 2.
Police were told that a 2008 Jeep Wrangler was heading north on the Highway 2 off-ramp at 41 Avenue S.W. when it reportedly didn’t stop for a red light at the intersection and hit a 2009 Kia Rio that was heading east on 41 Avenue S.W.

The other occupants, a 50-year-old man driving the Kia suffered non-life-threatening injuries and a second 24-year-old man, suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries, according to EMS.
The 28-year-old male driver of the Jeep Wrangler reportedly wasn’t injured.
