The 43-year-old motorcyclist was driving northbound on 50 Street towards the intersection of Mill Woods Road South at 8:10 p.m. on Friday.

The Triumph Daytona was hit by a Honda Fit turning left onto Millwoods Road South from 50 Street.

The motorcyclist died on scene. The 31-year-old driving the Honda was not injured.

Investigators believe the motorcyclist was speeding at the time of the crash.

“Our officers have stood on too many roadsides where speed turned a simple mistake into something no one could take back,” Staff Sgt. Mike Wasylyshen said in a news release.

“The hardest part is knowing that someone’s family has lost their loved one and there’s nothing we can do to make it less painful.”

This is Edmonton’s 28th fatal crash of 2025.
