The driver of the vehicle is co-operating with the investigation, RCMP added, and impairment and speed do not appear to be contributing factors.
Police closed a portion of 104th Avenue between 122nd Street and Scott Road to investigate and asked motorists to use an alternative route on Tuesday morning.
The RCMP’s criminal collision investigation team and integrated collision analysis and reconstruction service are examining the scene.
