A young Calgary man who lost two childhood friends to collisions on Highway 8 southwest of the city has launched a petition to change the dangerous road.
On Tuesday night, Dustin Peers died in a crash on the highway and Thursday night 19 year-old Chase Hudye was killed in a head on crash.
Cole Mercuur, who was friends with both young men tells 660 News he’s even had close calls on the highway as well.
“I’ve driven that road quite a few times and there have defiantly been a few close calls especially in the winter because that road, when it goes more icy it gets more treacherous because then drifting over into the other lane has a lot more problems in it.”
