EDMONTON – A driver in Edmonton has died after his car slammed into a light pole, which police allege was caused by an impaired driver going the wrong way.
The Edmonton Police Service says its officers were dispatched early Saturday to the city’s southeast, where a Chevrolet Cruze reportedly struck a light standard along the southbound portion of Anthony Henday Drive and caught fire.
Police say witnesses pulled the 23-year-old male driver from the car and attempted lifesaving measures, but he died at the scene.
Investigators later got reports that another vehicle, which police say they believe caused the collision, had been seen travelling north in the southbound lanes of the arterial highway.
Strathcona County RCMP later intercepted a Chevrolet Cavalier travelling north in the southbound lanes of Anthony Henday Drive just south of the Sherwood Park Freeway.
The 23-year-old woman at the wheel of the Cavalier was arrested and is facing charges of dangerous driving causing death and impaired driving.
