For the second time in five days, Edmonton police are investigating a fatal motorcycle collision.
Just after 2:45 p.m. on Sunday, officers responded to a crash involving a motorcycle in the area of Calgary Trail and Anthony Henday Drive, said police in a Monday news release.
It was reported that a 2026 Honda CBR650R was travelling westbound on Anthony Henday and was attempting to exit onto the Calgary Trail ramp when the driver, a 22-year-old man, lost control and was ejected from the bike.
Emergency crews responded and transported the man to hospital, where he died.
The EPS major collision investigations section is continuing to investigate, but speed is believed to be a factor.
This marks the second motorcycle fatality of the year. On Aug. 19, a 21-year-old man died after a motorcycle collided with an SUV in southeast Edmonton.
“It is incredibly unfortunate that the city’s first two motorcycle fatalities of 2026 have occurred just days apart,” said EPS Staff Sgt. Richard Windover, of the major collision investigations section.
“Our thoughts are with the families, friends and loved ones affected by these tragic losses. As summer comes to an end, we are urging all motorists to slow down.”
