Our Traffic Section continues to investigate after a serious-injury collision left a woman in her 40s in life-threatening condition earlier this morning.
At approximately 6:40 a.m., today, Monday, April 6, 2026, a two-vehicle collision occurred in the southbound lanes of Crowchild Trail near University Drive N.W.
At that time, a white 2024 Toyota Corolla, driven by a man in his 30s, with a woman in her 40s as a rear passenger, was travelling southbound on Crowchild Trail N.W. It is believed the Corolla collided with the rear of a 2010 Toyota Yaris, driven by a woman also in her 40s.
Investigators believe the Corolla went through a traffic barrier and left the roadway and dropped down onto the northbound lanes of Crowchild Trail N.W.
As a result of the collision, the passenger in the Corolla sustained life-altering injuries and was transported to hospital in life-threatening condition. The driver of the Corolla sustained serious injuries and was also transported to hospital. The driver of the Yaris was uninjured.
At this time, there is no evidence of alcohol or drugs being a factor in this collision.
Police are investigating if speed was a factor in relation to the adverse weather conditions present at the time of the collision.
