Driver hospitalized after downtown rollover affecting LRT service

The Valley Line LRT is running again after a Jeep crashed into a pole, shutting the line down.

LRT service between downtown Edmonton and the Muttart Conservatory was disrupted early Wednesday morning because of a vehicle rollover.

Police say a white Jeep was reported driving at “a high rate of speed” north on 100 Street before it struck a curb and pole at 102 Avenue.

The male driver was hospitalized.

No other vehicles or trains were involved.

As of 8:30 a.m., Edmonton Transit Service did not have a timeline for regular Valley Line train service resuming. Buses were brought in for commuters.

Police are still investigating.
