On April 10th, at 10:47 am, AbbyPD Patrol Officers responded to the 1700 block of Clearbrook Road for a report of a female lying on the roadway. Upon arrival, a 50 year old female was located suffering from serious life-threatening injuries after exiting a vehicle while it was in motion. The female was transported to the hospital by air ambulance.

Investigators have determined the female was a passenger in a 2017 Grey Dodge pickup truck bearing an Alberta licence plate before sustaining her injuries.
