Edmonton Police (EPS) Major Collision Investigations Section (MCIS) is investigating a fatal crash that occurred early Sunday morning, claiming the life of one motorist.

At approximately 8 a.m. EPS Patrol officers responded to a serious collision at the intersection of 114 Street and 75 Avenue.

Upon arrival, police located a male driver who was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to preliminary reports, a 30-year-old man was driving a 2009 Lexus RX350 westbound on 72 Avenue near 114 Street when the vehicle reportedly lost control, struck a tree on the north side of the road, and rolled.
