Injuries ranged from serious to minor in nature, and included two children.
RCMP said the winter road conditions at the time were severe with snow and ice covering the road, as well as fresh snow falling and wind making for poor driving conditions.
The cause of the collision is still under investigation.
Banff RCMP are asking anyone who witnessed the collision to contact Banff RCMP at 403-763-6600 or your local police. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or online at www.P3Tips.com.
