August 16, 2025 — A pedestrian has died after being struck by a vehicle on Macleod Trail SE late Friday night, prompting hours-long road closures in Calgary’s southeast. See our Calgary Car Accident News Hub for ongoing updates.
Calgary police say the crash occurred around 9:45 p.m., roughly 500 metres north of the Stoney Trail and Macleod Trail SE intersection.
According to investigators, a 2004 Honda Civic was heading northbound on Macleod Trail when it hit a pedestrian crossing the highway on foot from east to west.
The pedestrian, a man in his 50s, died at the scene. The driver stayed behind and was not injured.
Northbound Macleod Trail was closed between Stoney Trail and 162 Avenue SW while Calgary police investigated. The road reopened shortly after 1 a.m. Saturday morning.
Macleod Trail is one of Calgary’s busiest arterial roads, especially through the city’s southeast. The stretch near Stoney Trail sees high-speed traffic and limited pedestrian access, making collisions in the area particularly dangerous.
When a loved one is struck by a vehicle, the aftermath can be overwhelming — both emotionally and legally. Even in tragic cases where the pedestrian may be partially at fault, there may still be entitlements to compensation, including:
