Street racing caused crash on High Level Bridge: EPS

Police are looking for dashcam video related to a crash on the High Level Bridge on Tuesday evening they say was caused by street racing.

Officers responded to the crash around 10:45 p.m.

They received reports that a grey Dodge Journey and a black Hyundai Azera were racing at Jasper Avenue and 109 Street around 10:40 p.m., before heading onto the High Level Bridge.

The drivers of both vehicles reportedly made a couple of quick lane changes around civilian vehicles, resulting in the Hyundai hitting the back of a Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Both vehicles spun out and hit the bridge, sustaining serious damage.

The 21-year-old man driving the Hyundai and the 24-year-old man in his passenger seat were taken to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries, police said.

The 52-year-old driver of the Mitsubishi was taken to hospital for precautionary reasons.

The 22-year-old driver of the Dodge was not directly involved in the crash, but police say he did remain on scene.

Police say impairment was not a factor in the crash, but speed was.

Anyone with information or dashcam video of the crash is asked to call the Edmonton Police Service at 780-423-4567 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
