Tragic Motorcycle Crash on Crowchild Trail NW Claims One Life – The Calgary community is reeling from a fatal motorcycle accident that occurred on Saturday, June 7, 2025, on Crowchild Trail NW. At approximately 2:50 p.m., emergency services were dispatched to the scene near Sarcee Trail, where a single-vehicle crash involving a motorcycle had taken place. Tragically, the rider succumbed to injuries sustained in the collision.
The Calgary Police Service (CPS) responded promptly to the incident. While the investigation is still in its early stages, initial reports indicate that speed may have played a role in the crash. However, authorities have not confirmed this and continue to examine all potential factors.
In the aftermath of the accident, significant traffic disruptions were reported. Eastbound Crowchild Trail was closed from Nose Hill Drive NW to Sarcee Trail, and the Sarcee Trail overpass was shut down in both directions over Crowchild Trail. These closures led to considerable delays, and drivers were urged to find alternative routes to avoid the affected areas.
The identity of the deceased has not been publicly released, and the CPS is working diligently to notify next of kin and provide support to the family during this difficult time. The investigation remains ongoing, with authorities seeking additional information from witnesses and reviewing any available surveillance footage to piece together the events leading up to the crash.
This tragic incident underscores the importance of road safety and the need for all road users to remain vigilant and adhere to traffic laws. The CPS continues to encourage the public to report any information that may assist in the investigation and to drive responsibly to prevent further accidents.
