The Edmonton Police Service is investigating a fatal, single-vehicle collision that occurred early this morning in southeast Edmonton.
At approximately 1:00 a.m. today, Sunday, June 11, 2023, Southeast Branch patrol officers were called to a serious collision in the area of Ellerslie Road and 17 Street.
It was reported to police that a 2023 Tesla with six adult occupants aboard were travelling eastbound on Ellerslie Road at a high rate of speed when the vehicle lost control, rolling off the road several times. Two males and one female were pronounced deceased at the scene. Paramedics treated and transported two additional male passengers to hospital in critical condition, as well as a female whose condition is described as serious but stable.
Investigators believe speed to be a significant factor in the collision.
EPS Major Collision Investigations Section has since taken over the investigation.
