A 19-year-old, accused after an 18-year-old passenger died in a crash in 2024, faces more charges after allegedly fleeing Calgary police and crashing into several vehicles on Macleod Trail in the southwest on Friday.
Officers say it happened at around 2 a.m. when a driver in a 2018 BMW M5 was northbound on Macleod Trail at a “high rate of speed.”
Police say he fled a traffic stop and believe he tried to turn west onto 58 Avenue SW.
This led to the BMW striking the back of a parked vehicle, causing a “chain reaction” that damaged seven parked vehicles along 58 Avenue.
Nineteen-year-old Kane Anignostis Burrows faces two counts of impaired driving and two counts of failure to comply with a release order.
He is slated to appear in court on Monday.
This comes as Burrows is before the courts after charges were laid against him in the death of an 18-year-old passenger at the end of 2024.
It happened on Dec. 23 when the accused, driving a BMW with two other passengers, collided with a broken-down crane being repaired on the side of the road, police say.
An 18-year-old passenger was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition and later died. The other passenger suffered minor injuries, and the crane operator–a man in his 30s–wasn’t hurt.
In that incident, Burrows faces impaired driving causing death, impaired driving causing injury, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing injury, and driving while prohibited.
Police ask anyone with information about this incident to call them at 403-266-1234 or leave a tip anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
