EMS said the driver of the vehicle, a man in his mid-30s, was rushed to the Foothills Medical Centre in serious but stable condition.

The passenger, a female in her early 20s, was taken to the Foothills Medical Centre with minor injuries.

The crash caused the closure of westbound 16 Avenue N.W. until about 6:50 a.m., at which time one lane was reopened.
