Three people were taken to hospital. Firefighters could be seen using extraction equipment to remove at least one person from a vehicle involved in the crash.

On Monday, an Edmonton police spokesperson said one person sustained “serious injuries” while two people in another vehicle suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

No charges had been laid as of about noon on Monday – and the suspect was still at large — but police are asking anyone with dash cam video of the crash to contact Edmonton police.
