Speed is being considered a factor after a man in his 20s died in a fiery crash near Calgary’s Stoney Trail on Tuesday, police say.
It happened when a 1997 Ford Escort was driving west on 16 Avenue NE in the left-hand lane, approaching Stony Trail at around 2 p.m. on Feb. 10.
Then, when the vehicle was exiting, it entered the median and crashed into a concrete pier.
Police say the driver died at the scene.
