Four people were taken to hospital on Monday afternoon after two separate three-vehicle crashes west of Calgary.
The first collision happened on Highway 22 at Township Road 250, about 12 kilometres south of Cochrane, Alta.
Two of the four people involved in the crash were taken to hospital in Calgary with what RCMP believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.
Cochrane RCMP asked drivers to take another route, as Highway 22 was impassable in both directions.
Traffic was rerouted onto Township Road 252 to Jumping Pound Road for access to Highway 1. Highway 22 reopened at around 3:30 p.m.
As RCMP were on scene of the crash, a second three-vehicle collision happened about 100 metres away from the first. Three people were involved in this crash, with two being taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
The investigation into both collisions is ongoing.
