Three deceased following multi-vehicle collision

Our Traffic Section continues to investigate a multi-vehicle collision in northeast Calgary that resulted in three fatalities and left one person with life-altering injuries. At approximately 1:10 p.m., on Thursday, Oct. 15, 2026, a City of Calgary transit bus was travelling northbound in the 800 block of Saddletowne Circle N.E., approaching the intersection of 80 Avenue N.E. It is believed the bus struck a truck travelling in the same direction. The truck entered an adjacent lane, where it sideswiped a SUV before continuing forward and striking the rear of a box truck. The bus continued northbound and struck the rear of a sedan, pushing the vehicle through the intersection. The sedan then travelled toward Saddletowne Circle N.E., where it struck a truck. Both vehicles eventually came to rest. The bus continued northbound and struck the rear of a second City of Calgary transit bus.

The second bus continued forward before striking a sedan. Within seconds, the fire intensified resulting in an explosion and significant fire insid
