A man has been killed in a bizarre crash on the Trans-Canada Highway east of Calgary.

RCMP say he was one of five people in a stolen SUV that lost control and rolled just west of Strathmore, around 7 o’clock Wednesday morning.

Police believe he got out of the wreck and started walking on the highway and was hit and killed by an oncoming vehicle that did not remain on scene, about 400 metres away from the SUV.

Three teenage girls were ejected from the SUV and suffered serious but non life threatening injuries.

A fourth teenager was not badly hurt.

Anyone who may have witnessed the crash is asked to call Strathmore RCMP at 403-934-3535. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS), or by internet at www.tipsubmit.com.
