Emergency crews were forced to cut the driver of the mini-van from his vehicle.
STARS Air Ambulance was put on standby to respond to the crash, but the flight was cancelled when it was decided the man would be transported to Foothills Medical Centre by ground ambulance.
Traffic along Highway 1A was rerouted for more than two hours until the vehicles were removed from the crash scene.
EMS said the driver of the semi was uninjured.
