A pileup on north bound Deerfoot Trail involving six vehicles and a semi – carrying a load of gasoline brought traffic to a snarl and sent three people to hospital during the afternoon drive on Wednesday.
Calgary Fire say they were called to the scene of the crash around 3 p.m. just north of Mcknight Blvd.
660 reporter Glory Przekop says the crash left the northbound lanes a mess.
“There were two SUV type vehicles that were smashed in. The black one its back end was completely smashed and another red one, which was beside the semi. its front end was smashed in. Now to the right of that was a car sitting with its side almost ripped off,” said Przekop.
EMS spokesperson Stuart Brideaux tells 660News three people were sent to hospital in non-life threatening condition.
One of them had to be extricated from their vehicle.
