Edmonton police said an investigation was underway, after one of four people injured in a collision late Friday afternoon had succumbed to her injuries.

EPS said at about 5 p.m. Friday, officers were called to the collision in the area of 163 Street and 92 Avenue – reports indicated a pickup truck, headed northbound on 163 Street, struck an SUV that was turning onto 163 Street southbound from 92 Avenue westbound.

The crash caused the truck to veer off the road, before hitting a tree and stopping in the front yard of a home.

Police said four people were inside the SUV, three females and one male.

Two of the female passengers, identified as a 59-year-old and a 90-year-old, were taken to hospital by paramedics; the two passengers had suffered life-threatening injuries.

The 68-year-old male driver, and the other passenger, a 67-year-old female, were not injured.

Four people were also in the truck: a 7-year-old girl, a 51-year-old woman, and two men, aged 20 (the driver) and 67-years-old. The girl and the woman were treated by paramedics and taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries, the driver and the third passenger were not hurt.

Police said on Sunday, the 90-year-old woman succumbed to her injuries. The 59-year-old passenger who was in the SUV remained in hospital Monday.

It’s believed speed might have been a factor in the crash, no charges have been laid.

Witness to aftermath shares details

Kyle Gordon was lying in his bed, inside his home in the area of 163 Street and 92 Avenue, when the collision happened.

“I heard a really big noise,” Gordon said. He woke his roommate up, telling him “I think a car hit the house or something.”

They went out to see the aftermath, and a few moments later saw the pickup truck had come to a stop close to his home.

“A lot of people got carried out on stretchers,” Gordon said.

He credits an ornamental wagon in the yard with stopping the pickup truck before it hit the house.

Gordon said they were supposed to sell the wagon the previous week, but instead weighed it down with rails – the wagon appeared to act as a buffer, and kept the large truck from striking the home.

“I’m glad we didn’t move it or sell it, because it was the only thing that kept that truck from going through my room,” Gordon said.

Now, pieces of the truck and the wagon were still strewn over Gordon’s lawn Monday, and he said they planned to fix the fence.
