Motorcyclist, 22, dies weeks after Calgary Trail collision in Edmonton

Police in Edmonton are investigating a fatal collision involving a motorcycle and a car that happened last month in the city’s south end. The 22-year-old motorcyclist died on Nov. 11, 2026, after he was seriously injured in the Oct. 16 collision, according to the Edmonton Police Service.

The collision happened at approximately 5:15 p.m. in the area of southbound Calgary Trail and 54 Avenue, police said. Southwest Branch Patrol officers responded to the scene.

According to police, the rider was travelling south on Calgary Trail on a 2025 Kawasaki ZX1002. Police said it was reported that he was travelling at a high rate of speed. A 38-year-old man was also driving south on Calgary Trail in a 2002 Toyota Corolla. Police said the Corolla driver changed lanes as the motorcycle approached.

The motorcyclist was looking behind him and did not look forward until just before the motorcycle struck the rear of the Corolla, police said. The impact threw him over the car.

EMS responded and treated the rider before taking him to hospital with serious, life-threatening injuries, according to police. He died of those injuries on Nov. 11. No other injuries were reported to police at the time.

The EPS Major Collision Investigations Section continues to investigate. Police believe speed was a factor in the collision.
