Calgary police say a man has died after a rollover on 16 Avenue on Sunday night.
Emergency crews responded to 16 Avenue Northeast near 36 Street Northeast at around 11 p.m.
Police said the driver was eastbound when he apparently lost control of the vehicle, causing it to cross over the median and roll several times before catching fire.
The driver was thrown from the vehicle and was taken to hospital in critical condition, a police news release stated.
In an update Monday afternoon, police said the man died of his injuries.
“We continue to investigate the collision and believe speed to be a factor,” police said.
“Investigators are asking any potential witnesses, including drivers with dashcams who were travelling in the area prior to the collision, to come forward.”
The crash caused a section of 16 Avenue to be closed between 19 Street Northeast and 52 Street Northeast while police investigated.
