Sgt. Colin Foster of the CPS reconstruction unit said a black pickup truck, driven by a 39-year-old male, was travelling at a high rate of speed on 46th Street, just north of 130th Avenue, when it struck a red sedan pulling out of the parking lot.

“As a result of that collision, the driver of the red sedan was pronounced dead at the scene,” said Foster.

A passenger in the sedan was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition. The driver of the pickup truck, which carried the markings of a Calgary pool and spa company, suffered serious, non life-threatening injuries.

The force of the crash carried both vehicles over a grass median and into the parking lot, where they collided with several cars.
