CALGARY – Two motorcycles travelling together both lost control on Highway 1A west of Calgary at approximately 5:30 p.m. Friday.
One of the motorcycles went off the road, ejecting the rider some distance. The second motorcyclist saw this and hit his brakes, which caused the second motorcyclist to lose control and hit a guardrail.
The two motorcyclists rolled into a ditch west of Morley Road and are recovering from serious injuries after the crash.
One was flown by STARS to hospital in Calgary with serious injuries and the other was transported by ground in non life-threatening condition.
There is no word yet on what caused the crash or if any other drivers were involved.
One lane on the highway was closed temporarily but has since reopened.
It is unclear if charges will be laid in this incident.
