A man died of his injuries in a Calgary hospital on Thursday after his car left the road and rolled into a creek.
RCMP say the man was driving on Main Street at Nose Creek Park when his vehicle went out of control, crashed through a fence and ended up upside down in the water.
Firefighters rescued the unconscious man from the vehicle and he was rushed in life-threatening condition to hospital in Calgary, where he later died.
RCMP can’t say whether speed was a factor but say the weather definitely was.
“Road conditions were icy and snow packed and there was blowing snow at the time,” says Cst. Jason Curtis.
The road was closed for several hours while RCMP, including a collision reconstructionist, investigated.
