CALGARY- A 21-year-old woman was taken to Foothills Hospital Friday after being involved in a serious two vehicle collision north of Magrath, Alberta on Highway 5.

Initial investigation suggests that weather and road conditions were factors in this collision.

There was one person in each vehicle.

The other vehicle’s occupant was taken to the Raymond Hospital to be treated for her injuries.

Highway 5 was closed during the investigation and has since been re-opened.
