Edmonton police are investigating a two-vehicle crash that left one on its side in Windermere Wednesday afternoon. They’re also searching for a third vehicle they say was “indirectly involved.”

At around 3:05 p.m., a Toyota FJ Cruiser was turning left into the Currents of Windermere shopping centre off Windermere Boulevard. An Infiniti G37 was heading west on Windermere Boulevard and hit the right side of the Cruiser, police said.

“The impact of the collision caused the FJ Cruiser to overturn onto its side and slide into the curb,” EPS said in a news release. “The Infiniti was believed to be travelling at a high rate of speed.”

That other vehicle was described to police as a white car, possibly a Cadillac CTS. It was last seen heading west on Windermere Boulevard. Investigators want to locate that vehicle and speak to the driver.
