EDMONTON - Two young men had to be cut out of the mangled wreckage of a Mustang GT that rolled several times on a west-end street Monday evening.
Insp. Shane Loxterkamp said the car and another Mustang were headed north on 149th Street at "an extremely high rate of speed."
The black Mustang GT failed to negotiate a meridian at 135th Avenue that reduces the two-lane street down to one.
A witness told police he thought the cars were travelling at about 150 km/h at the time.
The black Mustang was launched into the air and rolled several times before coming to rest about a half block down the street.
As it rolled, the car cut down seven newly planted trees, demolished an electrical power box and knocked down a light standard.
The male passenger had to be airlifted by STARS to the University Hospital while the driver was transported by ground ambulance.
Both men have serious and undetermined injuries, said Loxterkamp.
Police located the second Mustang a short time later at a nearby movie cineplex.
Officers were interviewing the occupants, believed to be two young women.
