The exact number of people killed in road accidents in Alberta for 2024 has not been officially published by the Government of Alberta or national authorities as of August 2025. However, available news reports and legal analysis highlight that road fatalities in Alberta notably increased in 2024:
-
In Calgary alone, there were 29 fatal traffic collisions in 2024, 13 of which involved pedestrians—the highest number for that city in over a decade.cbc+1
-
Individual incidents elsewhere in Alberta were reported throughout the year, such as a crash north of Airdrie with one fatality and a crash in eastern Alberta killing two people.calgary.citynews+1
-
National and provincial legal sources project a rise in vehicle fatalities for 2024, consistent with a trend noted in previous years, but do not provide a final Alberta-specific total.preszlerlaw
In summary, while specific province-wide statistics for Alberta's total 2024 road fatalities have not yet been released by the Alberta government, available sources indicate the fatality count increased substantially compared to previous years, with Calgary alone reporting at least 29 deaths and numerous other fatal collisions documented around the province.pipellalaw+3
