At approximately 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 12, Northeast Division patrol officers responded to Yellowhead Trail and Victoria Trail to investigate a reported single vehicle roll-over involving a possible impaired driver.
On arrival police confirmed that a 1990 Chevrolet Corvette was travelling westbound on Yellowhead Trail when it lost control and rolled over on its roof, just underneath the Victoria Trail overpass.
Northeast Division patrol officers initiated an impaired driving investigation and MCIU continued the investigation, which revealed evidence of excessive speed and alcohol as being factors in the collision.
The 41-year-old female passenger, who was wearing a seatbelt, was pronounced deceased on-scene by attending paramedics.
The 47-year-old male driver was extricated and transported to hospital with serious injuries, but is expected to survive.
Allan Dean Balay is charged with impaired driving causing death and dangerous driving causing death. Additional charges are pending.
