Calgary police are investigating a Martindale pedestrian collision after a motorist struck and killed a man lying on a sidewalk Monday morning. The fatal incident occurred as the driver attempted to enter a parking lot.
The collision happened around 5:40 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 26, 2026, in the community of Martindale.
A westbound driver attempted to turn into a parking lot at 135 Martindale Blvd. N.E.
A pedestrian was lying on the sidewalk directly in front of the parking lot entrance.
The driver passed over the pedestrian while turning into the driveway.
Upon noticing the parking lot gate was closed, the driver reversed the vehicle and passed over the pedestrian a second time.
The driver then accessed the parking lot through a different entrance and parked.
Bystanders approached the driver, a man in his 50s, and alerted him to the injured pedestrian.
Emergency crews rushed the victim to the hospital, but he died from his injuries a short time later.
Investigators have asked anyone who witnessed the crash or captured dashcam video to contact Calgary Police at 403-266-1234 or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers.
