A man is dead after his truck hit two power poles in south Edmonton Friday night.
The crash was reported on Parsons Road near 28 Avenue around 10:45 p.m.
Police believe the man was driving south in the northbound lanes of Parsons Road when he swerved to avoid a head-on collision with another vehicle.
The truck hit a wooden power pole before hitting a metal power pole on the east side of the road.
The 54-year-old driver of the truck was taken to hospital, where he died Saturday.
The EPS Major Collisions Unit is investigating the crash, and officers believe speed was a factor.
No other injuries were reported.
