Victim of fatal Pineridge crash identified as 17-year-old pedestrian

Calgary police are making another public plea for information about a collision in Pineridge on Wednesday that killed a pedestrian.

Emergency crews were called out shortly after 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday to the intersection of 64 Street (also known as Rundlehorn Drive) and 26 Avenue Northeast for reports a pedestrian had been struck by a vehicle and was pinned underneath.

Police have identified the victim of the crash as a 17-year-old girl they say was crossing the street in a marked crosswalk when she was struck.

The driver of the vehicle, a 2019 grey Ford EcoSport, has been identified as a 75-year-old woman, who remained at the scene of the crash.

The pedestrian suffered fatal injuries and was declared dead at the scene.

Speed and alcohol are not considered factors in the collision, but police say the driver failing to obey a stop sign is being investigated as a contributing factor.

One Pineridge resident who spoke to Global News shortly after the crash said the community’s concerns about people not stopping at the intersection have been ignored.

“It was inevitable it was going to happen. I’ve asked the city more than once to put in a pedestrian light. It would be nice if we had traffic lights but that’s not ever going to happen – but maybe now the city will listen.”

Ward 10 councilor Andre Chabot tells Global News he took a tour of the area a few months ago with representatives of the city roads department and they identified some problems with the sidewalk in the area, but there is a process that needs to be followed.

“I can tell you, I’m already working on trying to make improvements at that intersection,” said Chabot.  “But now with this incident, obviously, I’m going to have to see if our city manager can get involved and see what improvements can be made in advance of me raising it before council because I can’t direct administration to do it.”

“The city does thousands of reviews of intersections annually,” added Chabot. They do an assessment based on the amount of vehicles, how many pedestrians, how many interfaces there are between pedestrians and the automobiles — and they will make a recommendation on what we should or should not do.”

By Thursday afternoon, someone had placed a small memorial at the intersection for the 17-year-old victim.

Police are asking anyone with information about the collision to contact them at the CPS non-emergency number, 403-266-1234. Tips can also be left anonymously through Crime Stoppers or by downloading the Crime Stoppers app P3 TIPS.
