The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) has publicly released images of a pickup truck they are urgently trying to locate, connecting it to a serious multi-vehicle hit-and-run collision that occurred in north Edmonton this week.
The incident took place on Tuesday morning, December 20, 2025, along 132 Avenue. According to authorities, the driver of a Dodge Ram pickup truck fled the scene after being involved in the crash, leaving other motorists to deal with the aftermath.
Vehicle of Interest: A White Dodge Ram
In an effort to generate leads from the public, investigators have disseminated photographs of the specific vehicle they believe is involved. The EPS is asking for the community's assistance in finding the white Dodge Ram, which likely sustained damage from the collision.
Anyone who witnessed the crash, has dashcam footage from the area around the time of the incident, or has information about the truck's whereabouts is strongly encouraged to contact the Edmonton Police Service immediately. The release of these photos is a standard investigative tactic used to leverage public visibility in tracking down drivers who fail to remain at the scene of an accident.
The Consequences of Fleeing the Scene
Hit-and-run collisions present significant challenges for law enforcement and can have severe legal repercussions for the driver who leaves. Remaining at the scene is not just a moral obligation but a legal one under Alberta's Traffic Safety Act.
By fleeing, drivers potentially face serious charges beyond those related to the crash itself, including failing to remain at the scene of an accident and failing to render aid. These charges can result in substantial fines, driving prohibitions, and even imprisonment.
For the victims involved, a hit-and-run adds a layer of distress and complication, often delaying insurance claims and the investigation process. The EPS's public appeal underscores their commitment to holding the responsible driver accountable.
How the Public Can Help
The Edmonton police are relying on tips from citizens to solve this case. Information as seemingly minor as a partial license plate number, the direction the truck was headed, or a description of the driver can be crucial.
Residents in the north Edmonton area, particularly those living or working near 132 Avenue, are asked to check their property for any signs of a damaged white Dodge Ram that may have been hastily parked or hidden.
The investigation is ongoing, and no further details about the condition of other drivers or the extent of vehicle damage have been released at this time. The primary focus remains on identifying and locating the pickup truck and its operator.
