Rollover on CTrain line creates commuter chaos

There were some big delays heading into the downtown core Wednesday morning because of a roll-over along Memorial Drive.

A car flipped near the zoo LRT station, and landed on its roof on the CTrain tracks.

That caused back-ups along Memorial Drive and on southbound Deerfoot Trail; northeast LRT service was also affected for about two hours.

EMS transported one woman to hospital in serious, but stable condition. Her injuries are said to be non life-threatening.
