One person is dead after a crash involving a vehicle and a semi-truck in southern Alberta Wednesday morning.
EMS told Global News paramedics were called just before 10 a.m. to the northbound lane of Range Road 211 south of Highway 1 where they said a vehicle rear-ended a semi.
A 25-year-old woman of Calgary was declared dead at the scene, Gleichen RCMP said.
Gleichen RCMP said they reopened Highway 1 at Range Road 211 after closing it for most of the day.
An RCMP collision reconstructionist was at the scene and the cause of the collision remains under investigation, police said.
Earlier in the day, at around 8:30 a.m., EMS said they responded to a single-vehicle rollover on Highway 840 north of Highway 561. Three people were in the vehicle at the time and a teenage boy was airlifted by STARS Air Ambulance to the Alberta Children’s Hospital in “serious condition.”
About an hour later, an emergency vehicle at the same crash site — south of Standard, Alta. — was hit by another vehicle. One adult patient was transported to the Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary in serious but stable condition. EMS did not disclose which crash the patient was involved in, but said the injured person is not a first responder.
Paramedics told Global News the weather conditions in the area were “super foggy” and that they were amazed the STARS helicopter was able to respond due to the lack of visibility.
