A 27-year-old man fleeing from Edmonton police was killed late Sunday when the truck he was driving hit a light standard on Jasper Avenue. Officers saw a black Dodge Ram driving erratically at around 9:50 p.m., police said in a news release Monday. When the truck turned west onto Jasper Avenue from 90th Street, officers attempted to pull it over. The truck sped away, running a red light at 92nd Street before hitting a light pole at Alex Taylor Road, police said. The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team, which examines incidents involving police resulting in serious injury or death and serious or sensitive allegations of police misconduct, is investigating.
