The Calgary Police Service (CPS) is conducting an investigation into a fatal collision on Saturday that resulted in the death of a teenager.

According to a CPS statement released Sunday, the incident occurred at approximately 4:30 p.m., when the driver of a silver Infiniti G37 travelling on southbound Stoney Trail, approaching McKnight Boulevard N.E., lost control.

The vehicle travelled across the median and struck a light post, before coming to rest on the northbound lanes of Stoney Trail.

One passenger, a 15-year-old boy who was ejected from the vehicle, was declared deceased at the scene.

The driver of the vehicle was transported to hospital in serious condition. Three additional passengers were also transported to hospital with minor injuries.

Excessive speed is being investigated as a factor in the collision, police say.

Police are asking anyone who witnessed the collision, or who may have dashcam footage from the area at the time of the incident, to contact police by calling 403-266-1234.
