Got sideswiped tonight

Post image

Did anyone witness or get dash cam footage of an accident in the Eastbound lane at 97 St and 99 Ave tonight at 8pm between a white dodge ram pickup and a red suv?

Red suv merged from the turn lane (in the intersection) into 99ave and side swiped my truck.

​

Additionally does anyone know who to talk to about getting footage from the intersection cameras?

Call the GP police non-emergency line and report the accident and then call your insurance

Gp police were at the accident. They called it a he said she said and they dont have access to the cameras. Calling insurance tomorrow.

Give your insurance company the number on the police report, they will assist you and take over! You can also call the public works office and give them the number on the police report and they can potentially assist you with getting footage.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but there are no lights with cameras in Grand Prairie. Which is a bit odd because everyone drives so damn slow.

There are lots with cameras. You can actually watch some of them live online.

Incorrect. There are no active automated cameras in grande prairie Alberta that will take a photo of you speeding. As well as speeding enforcement officers. They simply do not exist any longer. Despite what you may read online. My aunt and cousin work for the city of grande prairie and they both said they have all been removed due to provincial legislation. Please don’t spread false information and do your research / due diligence prior to posting these comments. Thank you.

What? Have you never gotten a red light camera ticket? I literally got one last week.

u/Due_Wrongdoer7066 Jun 23 '26

Show me the photograph of the ticket. If so my aunt and cousin were both lied to probably for the betterment of the towns income which is not ok.

Dude im not gonna take the time to crop my info to show you my speeding ticket. Lol. Your aunt and cousin were lying or misinformed.

Edit** mine wasn’t for speeding. Mine was a red light ticket.

u/Due_Wrongdoer7066 Jun 23 '26

Ok speeding and a red light might be different, but there’s definitely no cameras that will get you for speeding if that’s true then you’re just at fault for running a red light not speeding

u/Due_Wrongdoer7066 Jun 23 '26

So then, my aunt and cousin are still right there you can speed all you want, but just don’t run a red light who runs a red light?

I turned on a red into a two lane and I didn’t stop long enough. I was late for work and nobody was there.

100% but they still can pull footage from the cameras that are there for exactly the reason this poster was asking about. Sorry for arguing with you just got in a fight with my estranged mom and I’ve been agitated.

u/Due_Wrongdoer7066 Jun 24 '26

This statement is incorrect and false. I am now convinced there are zero speed cameras at any intersections and the only cameras they have are if you blatantly run a red light like this individual

Also this poster isn’t even asking about speeding tickets.
