The collision happened around 2 p.m. and involved at least four vehicles, said Carol Henke with the Calgary Fire Department, which dispatched two engines to the crash site.
EMS spokesman Adam Loria said two women, both believed to be in their 60s, were injured in the collision and transported to hospital in non-life-threatening condition.
(Initially, EMS had said just one woman had been taken to hospital but later revised that to two.)
