Police said a 39-year-old Calgary man has been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and obstructing a peace officer after a fatal crash on Stoney Trail northeast late Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The crash happened around 11 p.m., according to Calgary police, and investigating officers erected a barricade at Stoney Trail and McKnight Boulevard northeast.<\/p>\n

At around 2:45 a.m. police said another driver approached the scene at a high rate of speed and drove through the crime scene while officers were present, potentially putting officers\u2019 lives at risk and potentially destroying crucial evidence.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tCalgary police said the fatal crash happened on Stoney Trail around 11 p.m. on Tuesday and about four hours later another vehicle drove through the police barricade and the crash scene while officers were still on scene investigating.\t\t\t\t <\/p>\n

\u201cPolice often close roads after collisions to protect the officers at work and the integrity of the investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The accused is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, May 13, 2026.<\/p>\n
