One of two motorcycle passengers injured in a multi-vehicle collision on the Anthony Henday earlier this week has died from her injuries, Edmonton police said on Wednesday.
On Monday afternoon, police were called to a serious collision on the Anthony Henday between 111 Avenue and Yellowhead Trail.
Police were told that a motorcycle with two women on it was travelling northbound on the Henday when it began to slow down behind a Ford F-150 and other traffic. As the motorcycle slowed down, a cargo van behind the bike reportedly rear-ended the women “at a high rate of speed” and threw the two from the bike.

On Tuesday, the 28-year-old passenger died of her injuries.
