Earlier in the day, at approximately 8:30 p.m., EMS said they responded to a single-vehicle rollover on Highway 840 north of Highway 561. There were three people in the vehicle at the time and a teenage boy was airlifted by a STARS air ambulance to Alberta Children’s Hospital in “critical condition”.
About an hour later, an emergency vehicle at the same crash site—Standard, just south of Alta. Was hit by another vehicle. An adult patient was taken to Foothills Medical Center in Calgary in serious but stable condition. EMS did not disclose which patient was involved in the accident, but said the injured person was not a first responder.
Paramedics told Global News that weather conditions in the area were “super foggy” and they were amazed that the STARS helicopter was able to respond due to the lack of visibility.
