The crash happened near Highway 27 and Major Mackenzie Drive at around 8 a.m.
Const. Lisa Moskaluk told Global News the crash involved a black BMW sedan and a grey Audi SUV.
“The impact of the collision caused a light pole to come down on the BMW, and it ultimately trapped the occupants inside,” Moskaluk said.
