An Edmonton man has been killed in a two-vehicle crash north of Airdrie that also left a youth and another injured Sunday, emergency crews say.
EMS spokesman Stuart Brideaux says paramedics arrived at the scene two kilometres north of Veterans Boulevard along Highway 2 to find three patients after receiving calls about the crash at around 6 a.m.
He says it appears a southbound car left the road, rolled, and collided with a minivan.
Mounties clarified in an update that the two vehicles came to a rest at a northbound ditch.
EMS rushed one adult, a 25-year-old man from Calgary in the car, by ground to Foothills Medical Centre in serious condition.
Brideaux says a youth, a 10-year-old from Edmonton, was airlifted to Alberta Children’s Hospital by STARS in stable, non-life-threatening condition. A 56-year-old driver in the van with the youth died on the scene.
At around 12 p.m., 511 Alberta said all lanes had been opened after they had been closed for several hours.
Police said the northbound lanes were down to one lane, along with the left southbound lane being blocked.
