Two people were transported to hospital following a multi-vehicle collision on Saturday night.
At around 10:00 p.m. on December 9, 2023, police responded to the area of Idylwyld Drive North between 51st Street and 60th Street East for a report of a collision involving multiple vehicles.
Investigation found that the 19-year-old driver of a pickup truck experienced a medical emergency resulting in collisions with four other vehicles throughout the area. Members of the Collision Analyst Unit were called to investigate; however, no charges are expected to be laid in relation.
As a result, the 19-year-old driver of the pickup truck and a 49-year-old passenger from one of the other involved vehicles were transported to hospital by paramedics with what are believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.
Traffic restrictions that were in place for the duration of the investigation have since been removed. Police thank members of the motoring public for their accommodation of the closures.
