Initial investigation revealed that a southbound white Ford pickup truck pulling a trailer and a westbound white Chevrolet car collided and came to rest in a ditch. It was also found that each vehicle contained two occupants, of which one occupant of the car was ejected at the scene. Both occupants from the car were air lifted to a Calgary hospital by STARS and HALO air ambulances with serious injuries, while the passenger of the pickup truck was transported to a local hospital with unknown injuries.  The driver of the pickup truck was not transported.

An RCMP Collision Reconstructionist attended the scene to assist in the investigation and the intersection remained closed during the investigation.  At 3 p.m., investigators cleared the scene and opened the intersection to traffic.  RCMP continue to investigate.
