Semi involved in fatal collision sought
Leduc RCMP
On Oct. 6th, 2014, at approximately 6:00 a.m., RCMP Leduc Integrated Traffic Unit received a report of a motor vehicle collision involving a Honda Civic and another unknown vehicle on the QEII Highway in the south-bound lanes, just north of the Highway 616 overpass. Upon arrival, police observed that the Civic had sustained extensive front-end damage. The driver of the car, a 29-year-old male from Edmonton, was transported to hospital with extensive injuries, and passed away shortly thereafter.
RCMP investigators believe the car struck a stopped or slow-moving truck tractor and semi-trailer, and that driver of the truck either didn't notice or chose not to stop after the truck he/she was driving was struck.
The damage caused to the car in the collision is consistent with all characteristics of an Arne’s gravel end-dump semi-trailer. It is believed the semi-trailer is either in a tandem or tridem axle configuration, and has a red frame. Part of an Arne’s mud guard, believed to be from the rear of the truck tractor and semi-trailer, was also found at the scene of the collision.
Police are asking for the public’s assistance in locating the truck tractor semi-trailer that may have been involved and are asking any witnesses to the collision to please come forward.
If you have information about this, or any other investigation(s), please contact the Leduc RCMP at 780-980-7200, or if you want to remain anonymous, you can contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 1.800.222.8477 (TIPS), by internet at www.tipsubmit.com, or by SMS (check your local Crime Stoppers [www.crimestoppers.ab.ca] for instructions on how to do). You do not have to reveal your identity to Crime Stoppers, and if you provide information to Crime Stoppers that leads to an arrest(s), you may be eligible for a cash reward.
Photos of a similar vehicle to the one being sought are attached below. A photo of the piece mud flap found at the scene is also attached below.
Lethbridge Regional Police have charged a 23-year-old man following a stabbing Saturday afternoon.

Investigation determined that a 55-year-old man had been involved in a physical altercation with a 23-year-old man and was subsequently stabbed. The victim was transported to hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.
Following further investigation the suspect was located and arrested a short time later. This incident was the result of a dispute and not a random crime.

The Calgary RCMP Major Crimes Unit with the assistance of the Maskwacis Community Response Unit, Wetaskiwin General Investigation, the "K" Division Special Tactical Operation and the Forensic Identification Section have been involved in this investigation.

Reminder to drivers to yield to emergency vehicles
Grande Prairie RCMP would like to remind drivers to be cognizant of Emergency Response Vehicles that have their flashing lights and sirens activated.
When being approached by Emergency Response Vehicles (Police, Fire and Ambulance) that have their lights and sirens activated, it is required, by law, that drivers pull over to the side of the road, yield and allow the emergency vehicle(s) to pass by safely.

Please remember that failing to allow emergency vehicles could cause an increase in response time to emergencies.

A joint investigation between the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT) and RCMP Turner Valley has shut down an area drug trafficking operation that was causing community public safety concerns.
On October 8th, members of ALERT Calgary and RCMP Turner Valley, executed a search warrant at a Black Diamond home that was the center of numerous neighbourhood complaints related to suspected drug activity.

Brian Blakeman, 56, and Tammy Forsyth, 44, have been jointly charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking, proceeds of crime, unsafe storage of a firearm, and possession of a firearm without a license.

Members of the public are encouraged to report drug activity in their neighbourhood by contacting police or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Witnesses call 911, report impaired driver involved in fatal collision
Edmonton Police Service
Concerned motorists called 911 this long weekend to report a suspected impaired driver involved in a fatal single vehicle collision in north Edmonton on Sunday, Oct. 12, 2014.
Citizens reported a Chevrolet Corvette was traveling erratically on Yellowhead Trail, when it lost control and rolled over on its roof, just underneath the Victoria Trail overpass. Investigation by the EPS Major Collision Investigation Unit (MCIU) revealed excessive speed and alcohol as factors in the collision.
The 41-year-old female passenger, who was wearing a seatbelt, was pronounced deceased on-scene by attending paramedics. The 47-year-old male driver, Allan Dean Balay, was transported to hospital with serious injuries, but is expected to survive. He is charged with impaired driving causing death and dangerous driving causing death. Additional charges are pending.
For September 2014, there were 759 calls from the public to report suspected impaired drivers. These calls led to 53 impaired driving charges, 22 license suspensions, and 35 warning letters sent to registered vehicle owners.
“The Curb the Danger program continues to be a prime example of a community based initiative,” says Staff Sgt. Ted Hrebien, with the MCIU. “The program would not be the success it is without concerned citizens who take the time to report erratic drivers, and the involvement of the EPS Communications Branch, front line Patrol members, and the Flight Operations Unit. This combined effort improves road safety in the city for all motorists and pedestrians.”
So far in 2014, there have been a total of 6,772 calls into Curb the Danger, 2,175 intercepts, 547 impaired driving charges, 217 license suspensions, and 451 letters sent to registered vehicle owners advising them their vehicle was reported.
