Hey Guys,
MarkhamCALGARY – A young Calgary woman has died as a result of a serious collision near the intersection of Stoney Trail and Nose Hill Drive N.W. Tuesday afternoon. 23-year-old Alix Jessie Hesse was riding southbound on Stoney Trail in a Chevrolet Cavalier driven by her female friend when the pair made a left hand-turn onto eastbound Nosehill Drive. The women crossed in front of a man in a Chevrolet Avalanche who was driving northbound on Stoney Trail. The SUV hit the passenger side of the Cavalier, violently pushing the vehicle onto the grass on the east side of Nosehill Drive. The Avalanche rolled onto its roof but the 40-year-old man inside was not injured. Both women in the Cavalier were rushed to hospital in life-threatening condition. Hesse later died of her injuries. Investigators say speed and distracted driving may have been a factor in the collision. Police are asking anyone who witnessed the collision to contact them at 403-567-4000.
Don’t take your anger out on the Paul Revere’s spreading the truth about the Big V. Take your anger out on those who coerced you, and encouraged you to sacrifice yourself for the globalist end game.
Don't text and turn left
Bought not built!
Yip thats what i was thinking too, she was most likely playing with her cell phone. How can you not see a car coming from your left? Plus the roads on stoney are extra wide so very visible.Originally posted by kevie88

The car was coming the opposite direction, so during a turn that would be from the driver's right, not left.Originally posted by maxwinedog

Also, they police don't say what side the distracted driving was on. I have seen tons of people sail straight through red lights while they are busy texting. For all we know the avalanche driver was the inattentive one. It's still the girl's fault for turning when it wasn't safe to do so, but it might be a bit premature to hate on her.

Looks pretty open to me.

Get people turning left into tuscany. You are coming north with a slight left hand curve. The people who are turning east cant see past the people turning west. It is a 80/90km/h intersection.Originally posted by maxwinedog

Trust me it is bad. Lots of people have to hammer on the brakes/swerve.

Not to detract from the sadness of this incident, but I wonder how much of a difference the car made. Cavaliers aren't really known for their safety. Makes me wonder if she'd still be alive if they were driving a Focus, Civic, Corolla, or Golf.
From Wiki:
The third-generation Cavalier earned several low scores in crash tests by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Also, IIHS fatality risks statistics rated the Cavalier among the "Highest rates of driver deaths," with 150 (4 door) to 171 (2 door) driver deaths per million registered vehicle years. Average for the Cavalier class (small) was 103 (4 door) to 134 (2 door) driver deaths per million registered vehicle years.[8]
The IIHS gave the 1995-2005 Cavalier a "Poor" overall score in their frontal offset collision test.[9]
2005 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Crash Test Ratings (coupe):[10]
Frontal Driver: 4 of 5
Frontal Passenger: 4 of 5
Side Driver: 1 of 5 *safety concern*
Side Rear Passenger: 2 of 5
Rollover: 4 of 5
IIHS test:

High volume, high speed intersection. Luckily its being replaced by an interchange.

Saw the Avalanche rolled over, what a tragedy. Was probably something stupid like texting too. Although could have just been the sun in someone's eyes or being distracted too.
RIP.
I seen both cars as well, I said when I seen the cavalier that someone probably died, very sad.
I wonder if this is the same alix hesse whos father died last december according to google - if so thats pretty sad all round for the family.
Can't imagine too many people with the same name in Calgary.
