RCMP in Wetaskiwin are asking for the public’s help after a motorcycle was struck by a SUV south of Millet on Monday evening, leaving investigators with more questions than answers about what happened in the moments before and after the crash.
The collision happened around 6 p.m. on May 26 near northbound Highway 2A, according to RCMP Alberta. Police say the motorcycle was hit by a SUV, but the rider left the scene before officers arrived. Investigators are now asking anyone who saw the crash or who may have dashcam, cellphone, or other video from the area to come forward.
The post from RCMP included photos showing the motorcycle overturned in the ditch beside the highway, with debris scattered nearby. At this point, police have not said whether the rider was injured, and no identifying details about the motorcycle operator or the SUV have been released.
What police know so far
The location matters here. Highway 2A south of Millet is a stretch of road that can see steady local traffic, especially in the evening, when people are heading between nearby communities. In cases like this, even a passing vehicle or a split-second clip from dashcam can help investigators reconstruct the sequence of events.
RCMP have not yet said whether speed, visibility, road conditions, or any other factors may have contributed to the crash. That means witness accounts could be especially important as police try to determine what led to the collision and why the rider did not stay at the scene.
Why the search matters
When a crash involves a vehicle leaving the scene, police often rely on small details from the public a plate number, a vehicle description, a time stamp, or a short video clip to piece together the full picture. A witness might not realize what they saw is important until investigators compare it with other evidence.
That is why RCMP are urging anyone who was travelling along Highway 2A near Millet around 6 p.m. on May 26 to review dashcam footage or think back to anything unusual they may have noticed. Even information that seems minor could help move the investigation forward.

Anyone with information is being asked to call 310-RCMP.
