EDMONTON, AB – Edmonton police are investigating a fatal collision that left three people dead.

Officers responded to the single-vehicle crash about 2:20 a.m. near Calgary Trail and 55 Avenue.

They found a 20-year-old woman, a 21-year-old woman, and an unidentified man dead inside an Audi sedan, which had struck the wall of a nearby business.

Investigators say excessive speed appears to be a factor in the crash.

Police say the male driver, whose identity has yet to be confirmed, fled the scene prior to the officers’ arrival and has not yet been found.
