Police and fire crews were busy overnight with two different collisions where people were trapped inside vehicles and had to be cut out.
One of the wrecks, around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, had southbound Deerfoot Trail closed at 32nd Avenue NE for roughly five hours.
Acting Sergeant David Fakas said three people were involved in the crash on Deerfoot.
“Witnesses indicated there were two people trapped or unconscious in one of the vehicles involved,” said Fakas “Upon arrival of CFD, EMS, and CPS two occupants of one vehicle had to be removed, and the single occupant of the second vehicle had to be taken to hospital with serious, but non-life threatening injuries.
The second crash was at Fish Creek Blvd and Evergreen Gate SW where a car hit a light pole.
The driver and a passenger were trapped and had to be cut out and rushed to hospital with serious, but non-life threatening injuries.
Fakas said alcohol is suspected in both collisions.
