On February 3, 2017 RCMP at about 10:44 A.M. Olds Detachment, along with Olds Fire Department and Alberta Health Services EMS, attended to a motor vehicle collision off  55 Street just West of the four way stop intersection with 57 Avenue. 

A west bound vehicle, 2016 Jeep Cherokee, had driven across the boulevard striking a light standard that propelled a tire into the Property East of the Primary residence. 

The Jeep drove the length of a wooden fence line destroying it then continued into the yard and through a detached garage. 

The Jeep continued on ultimately removing the SW corner of the residence on that property before going through the shared fence line with a neighbouring property, pushing a deck off its supports then coming to a stop against the SE corner of the neighbouring residence to the West. 

The vehicle is believed to have gone airborne for approximately 20 feet as it mounted over the curb. 

The occupants, a couple in their late 70’s and early 80’s, of Olds, Alberta were extricated from the wreckage and taken to hospital.  Occupants of the respective residences were not injured.

The occupants of the vehicle remain in hospital at this time.

Police investigation has determined there is no criminal aspect to the driving behaviour and no charges are being considered at this time. 

A medical complication arose for the male driver as the vehicle was west bound and resulted in him being incapable of operating the vehicle.
