Impaired drivers targeted in St. Albert
St. Albert RCMP
As part of maintaining community safety, St. Albert RCMP has been focussing on getting impaired drivers off the streets. During the month of October 2014, 9 drivers were charged with impaired driving and 11 drivers were given 24 hour suspensions by the St. Albert RCMP.
6 of the impaired driving charges, and 5 of the 24 hour suspensions cases were initiated by calls from concerned citizens, while the remaining cases were initiated by RCMP officers on patrol. St. Albert RCMP encourages the public to be part of the Safe Streets solution and welcome calls about possible impaired drivers.
All of the 9 impaired driving cases involved alcohol as the drug causing the impairment, while 5 of the 24 hour suspension cases resulted from drivers using drugs other than alcohol and then choosing to drive. In 3 of the cases, the impairment was caused by marijuana. 1 case was a combination of marijuana, alcohol and methamphetamine, combined with lithium and sleeping pills all of which were causing the impairment. The 5th case involved a driver that was impaired by prescription drugs.
On October 31, 2014, at approximately 9:15 p.m., St. Albert RCMP were called to a 2 vehicle collision on Levasseur Road and Heritage Way in St. Albert. A blue 1999 Ford Escort car with one male adult is alleged to have been speeding westbound on Levasseur Road without any headlights on. The Ford collided with a 2008 red Jeep Cherokee carrying 2 adults and 1 child. The Jeep was heading southbound from Grandin into Heritage Lakes on Heritage Way. The 9 year old female child was complaining of minor injuries as a result of the collision, while her parents were shaken up.
It is alleged that the driver of the Ford Escort had beer, marijuana and a meth pipe in his possession in the car and that he had taken these drugs as well as lithium and sleeping pills prior to driving.
The 24 year old male driver of the Ford Escort car received a 24 hour suspension from driving and will be facing charges of:
As the charges are in the process of being sworn, the name of this person cannot be released. Court for the CDSA charge has been set for December 23, 2014 in St. Albert.
"Being impaired from drugs is the same as alcohol, and carries the same penalties." said Cst. Jaden Courtney of the St. Albert RCMP Traffic Section. "Drugs can affect reaction time and decision making abilities the same as alcohol."
"Unfortunately it seems that we need to remind people regularly that certain actions can have deadly consequences such as driving while impaired." said Inspector Kevin Murray, the St. Albert RCMP Detachment Commander. "Driving while impaired by either alcohol or other drugs, speeding, and driving while distracted all dramatically increases the likelihood of being in a collision. There is simply no excuse for these behaviours as they put the lives of other people at risk.”

Edmonton MVC sends five to hospital
The Edmonton Police Service is investigating a collision between two vehicles in north Edmonton yesterday afternoon that sent five people to hospital with injuries.
At approximately 4:20 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2014, North Division officers responded to a collision in the area of 123A Street and 137 Avenue. It was reported a Subaru Impreza was travelling westbound on 137 Avenue at a high rate of speed and collided with a Kia Sorento that was allegedly in the process of turning left from eastbound on 137 Avenue to northbound on 123A Street.
The impact allegedly caused the Subaru to rotate and come to rest on the north sidewalk of 137 Avenue, west of 123A Street. The Kia also rotated to the northwest corner of the intersection, where the vehicle reportedly rolled onto its roof.
The 27-year-old male driver and 30-year-old female passenger of the Subaru, and the 51-year-old male driver of the Kia were treated and transported to hospital by EMS with non-life threatening injuries. The two Kia youth passengers, a 13-year old male and 13-year-old female, were also treated and transported to hospital by EMS. The youth male sustained non-life threatening injuries, and the youth female remains in hospital in critical condition.
The collision caused closures both east and westbound on 137 Avenue from 113A Street to 127 Street for several hours.
The EPS Major Collision Investigation Unit has taken over the ongoing investigation. Alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the collision. Speed is believed to be a factor and charges are pending.
If you witnessed the collision or have any information that may assist investigators, please contact the Edmonton Police Service at at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile phone. Anonymous information can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.tipsubmit.com/start.htm
Investigators found a bullet that had entered one home on the street.
The investigation has since determined that the firearm round which impacted the residence was not from a drive-by shooting. Although forensics and ballistics analysis and testing are still ongoing, investigators are confident that the bullet was a stray round, potentially from the homicide scene, and not a targeted incident.
There are no further updates on the homicide investigation, however, investigators continue to seek public assistance from anyone who may have information. They are asked to call police at 403-266-1234, or Crime Stoppers anonymously using any of the following methods:
