Suspect dead, officer injured in Edmonton incident
On Sunday, May 11, 2014, at approximately 8:30 p.m. the Edmonton Police Service executed a warrant in the area of 53 Avenue and 149 A Street. An exchange of gun fire took place between a suspect and police.
EMS responded and the suspect was pronounced deceased on scene. An Edmonton Police Officer was injured and transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) has been notified and will be taking over the investigation. ASIRT investigates all officer involved shootings.
Minister of Justice and Solicitor General Jonathan Denis issued a statement in response to the incident: "For the second time within a few days, a member of Alberta's law enforcement team was seriously injured on the job. This serves as another stark reminder of the dangers our police and peace officers face daily. While many of us celebrated Mother's Day with our loved ones, thousands of Alberta men and women put their lives at risk to keep our communities safe. While details are short at this time, I want to offer my prayers to the injured Edmonton Police Service officer and his family, friends and fellow officers, and to thank them all for the sacrifices they make."
Motor vehicle collision near Goodfish Lake results in two fatalities
On May 10, 2014 at approximately 8 pm, Smoky Lake RCMP, St. Paul RCMP, Vilna Fire Department, and Vilna EMS were dispatched to a single vehicle collision on Range Road 130, in the County of Smoky Lake near Goodfish Lake, Alberta
Two passengers were pronounced dead at the scene after being ejected from the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle, 18 year old Tarik Cardinal sustained non life threatening injuries and was treated at a local hospital. The driver had been wearing his seat belt.
The deceased passengers were identified as Jordan Lee CARDINAL (23 yrs) and Christopher David CARDINAL (33 yrs) of the Saddle Lake / Goodfish Lake area. Both were brothers of the driver.
The investigation is ongoing at this time. Police believe that alcohol and lack of seatbelts may have been factors in this collision.
3 serious injury collisions in 3 hours keep emergency crews busy on the QEII
On May 11, 2014 the RCMP QEII Integrated Traffic Unit responded to three serious injury collisions in just over three hours which caused major traffic delays and sent several people to hospital with various injuries.
The first collision occurred north of Innisfail shortly around 4:30 pm when a north bound SUV lost control and rolled into the center median. Prior to EMS arriving on scene, assistance was provided by two nurses and a Pediatrician who were passing by. Five occupants, including three children, were transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Both north bound and south bound traffic was affected while EMS assessed and treated injuries.
The second collision occurred at around 6:30 pm in the south bound lanes near Gasoline Alley. Witnesses reported a single vehicle collision involving a motorcycle. The lone rider of the motorcycle was transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The south bound lanes were limited to one lane of travel while emergency crews with the assistance of a Collision Analyst investigated the crash.
The third collision occurred shortly after 7:00 pm when a male riding an off-highway vehicle (ATV) parallel to the QEII Highway, became airborne and was ejected from the vehicle. The male rider, who was not wearing a helmet, was transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

EPS investigating two fatal single vehicle collisions
The Edmonton Police Service is investigating two separate single vehicle collisions that claimed the lives of two young females.
On Friday, May 9, 2014 at approximately 11:50 p.m. it was reported that a red 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer was travelling southbound on Calgary Trail, approaching 55 Avenue. The vehicle lost control after approaching a bend in the road, mounted a curb, collided with a concrete bus bench and rolled over into a west service lane. The 19-year-old driver of the vehicle was ejected out of her vehicle.
Police and EMS responded. The driver was pronounced deceased on scene.
Police investigations reveal the driver was not wearing her seatbelt and excessive speed was a factor in the fatal collision. There were no other occupants in the vehicle.
EPS Major Collisions Unit is investigating this collision and believe two other unidentified vehicles may have been involved in street racing with this vehicle.
