Calgary crash kills 2 in the northwest
Police believe alcohol and speed played a role
Police believe alcohol and high speed was a factor in the accident.
At roughly 1:30 a.m., police say a Dodge Caliber carrying three men was speeding northbound on Sarcee Trail when it failed to stop for a red light at John Laurie Boulevard and was struck in the intersection by a westbound Honda Ridgeline truck.
The collision caused the Dodge to lose control and roll several times before coming to rest.
A 20-year-old man was pronounced dead after being ejected from the front passenger seat and taken to hospital in critical life-threatening condition.
The 20-year-old male driver of the Dodge was declared deceased at the scene.
A 19-year-old passenger sitting in the back received minor injuries and was treated at the hospital.
The 44-year-old male driver, and lone occupant, of the Honda Ridgeline was not injured.
No charges are anticipated at this time.
