EDMONTON An unusual visitor was spotted in a northwest Edmonton neighbourhood Thursday evening. Justin Clemens says his kids spotted a moose across the street from their home in the Starling neighbourhood, originally mistaking it for a reindeer. “They were loving it,” said Clemens. “I was like, Holy crap, it’s a moose. ” According to Clemens, the moose was walking around the cul-de-sac trying to find a way out, eventually getting lost in a backyard. It s mother didn t appear to be nearby. “It was pretty freaked out, it was not having a good time,” said Clemens. A group of neighbours, including Clemens, came up with a game plan to help the moose escape.
This was one of several speeding incidents police responded to over the weekend.
TES Staff Sgt. James McLeod said in the release that some drivers were using city streets as their own personal speedway.
“We understand that many citizens are likely experiencing cabin fever to the max these days, as a result of being stuck at home during the pandemic,” he said. “That, however, doesn’t give anyone the right to hit city streets and drive with reckless abandon, placing themselves and others around them in serious jeopardy. It’s not going to be tolerated.”
Other incidents included a white Toyota Scion FR-S travelling 101 km/h in a 50 km/h zone on the Walterdale Bridge, a black Dodge Ram travelling 126 km/h in a 60 km/h zone at Ray Gibbon Drive SB and 137 Avenue and a white Chevrolet Impala travelling 126 km/h in a 70 km/h zone near Manning Drive and the Anthony Henday. In all cases, the drivers were issued a mandatory court summons.
