No charges in fatal motorcycle collision in Lethbridge

Aug 15, 2025 | 8:25 AM

The Lethbridge Police Service (LPS) has determined that the surviving driver in a fatal collision will not be facing any charges.

Just before 5:00 p.m. on July 8, 2025, emergency crews were called to the intersection of Highway 3 and 30 Street North.

The investigation by LPS determined that the driver of a motorcycle was travelling westbound on the highway when they ran a red light and collided with a truck that was making a left turn northbound onto 30 Street North.

The 62-year-old man on the bike was seriously injured and was taken to Chinook Regional Hospital, where he later died. The driver of the truck was not hurt.

Witnesses reported that the motorcycle operator engaged in a “dangerous maneuver” to overtake another vehicle before proceeding through the intersection.
