CITYBEAT - CITY OF CALGARY PRESS RELEASE
-----------------------------------------------------------------

At about 2:05 AM on Saturday the 4 August 2007, police, fire
and EMS responded to several calls regarding a pedestrian hit
by a vehicle in the 300 block of 10 Ave SW.

Initial investigations indicate that there were numerous
people on the street and sidewalk outside a group of bars
located on this block of 10 Ave SW when a car traveling at a
very high rate of speed, in the westbound through lane, stuck
and killed two adult males standing on the road next to cars
parked on the westbound north curb lane.

Both males were pronounced dead at the scene by EMS. There
were no other injuries.

The car did not stop and fled the scene.

Police are looking for a Black BMW or Chrysler 300 type sedan
with dark windows and will likely have severe front end
damage.

The Traffic Section is conducting the investigation with
assistance from the 1 & 2 Districts.

Police have closed 10 Ave SW between 1 Street and 4 Street
SW, in both directions while the investigation is underway.

RIP to the victims, all these incidents are making me not want to travel downtown.

[Super_Geo]

80-100km/hr on 10th Ave?

It's only a matter of time before they find the fucker who did this... and he was probably drunk too

Condolenses to the victims' families and friends

[old&slow]

I gotta say, things are escalating? Normally I wouldn't jump to a conclusion but for Gods sake things are really going off the deep end in Calgary lately...

[LiquidK]

rest in peace, it's a sad way to die

That is horrible to hear! Does anyone know who the victims were?
Just to clear up the details, the two victims were standing on the road, next to the side parked cars when they were struck by the vehicle? The driver is obviously at fault here, cause of the excessive speeding, but why were the victims standing on the ROAD, when it was dark at night? Come to think of it, I see a lot of people standing on the road around clubs/bars... Maybe I am just interpreting the citybeat release wrong, someone correct me if I am wrong.

Regardless, this is a tragedy! RIP.

no idea really...my friends were standing outside in front of whiskey, the one i talked to today, he said right when he turned around he saw the 2 guys get hit and fly like 100 ft.
fuck so sad.

i dont care if they were standing on the road, but who drives that fkin fast on 10th ave? its a busy ass street. my friends didnt even catch what kind of car it was everything just happened so fast. mind you we were all pretty drunk last night.

^I am in no way condoning the actions of the driver. It is fairly obvious that the tragedy was a result of the driver's high rate of speed. More than likely, the driver was impaired. Stuff like this really shouldn't be happening. It really doesn't take much to prevent accidents like these from occuring.

This is very, very sad.

[Graham_A_M]

I wonder if this is some how gang-related... but I doubt it.

Absolutely horrible just the same. Pretty harsh way to die... right in front of everybody too

Condolences to the family and friends of these two guys

I don't hit the bars much anymore, but whenever I'm driving along 11th/10th ave late at night, I'm usually doing about 30km/hr just because of all the drunks in the street. I've had groups of people just walk out of the bar and straight across the road in front of me.

It's not just that they're idiots (although many probably are), it's just that they're drunk, and even a lot of good people just don't use their brains when they're drunk.
