2 adults and 1 child were taken to hospital in non-life-threatening condition
Two adults and a child have been taken to hospital after a serious collision Monday afternoon between an SUV and a car on Highway 1 near Old Banff Coach Road just west of Calgary.
All three are in stable condition, EMS said.
Both sides of the highway were closed, but reopened shortly after 6 p.m.
There was also a serious collision at Lower Springbank Road and Township Road 242 between a gravel truck and a car that saw four patients — two adults and two children — transported to hospital in non-life-threatening condition, EMS said.
And multi-vehicle collisions at Deerfoot Trail and Glemore Trail, and Crowchild and 54th Avenue S.W. were blocking lanes of traffic around 5 p.m.
The crashes came a few hours after snow began to fall across the city.
Calgary Transit warned riders that the icy conditions and crashes around the city were putting some buses behind schedule.
RCMP advised drivers to be cautious and drive to the conditions.
