A woman who was injured in a crash with a recliner has died

A 46-year-old woman who was seriously injured in a crash last week has died.

The crash happened around 9 p.m. Nov. 6 on Yellowhead Trail near Winterburn Road.

Police said a recliner fell out of the back of a westbound pickup truck on Yellowhead Trail.

The truck drove off and moments later the recliner was hit by a Toyota Corolla sedan driven by the 46-year-old woman.

Her vehicle was then rear-ended by a Chevy Avalanche.

Police said the truck that dropped the chair then fled the scene.

“Sadly, this collision illustrates the tragic outcome that can result when a load is not properly secured,” said Acting Sgt. Jefry Knull, with the Edmonton Police Service Major Collision Investigations Section, in a press release.

Police are still seeking information about the dark-colored, older model pickup truck.

“If anyone witnessed this collision, has dashcam footage of the incident, or knows the driver of the dark-colored truck, we encourage them to contact us as soon as possible,” Knull added.
