Multiple patients were taken to hospital after a serious multi-vehicle collision in Mission, the Provincial Health Services Authority says.
Spokesperson Peter Darbyshire tells 1130 NewsRadio that paramedics were called to the crash near 287th Street and Highway 7 in Mission just before 9:30 a.m. Sunday.
Darbyshire says four ambulances were sent to the scene.
“Paramedics cared for and transported three patients to hospital, two in stable condition and one in critical condition,” he said Sunday.
In an update Monday, the Mission RCMP clarified some details of the crash.
“A grey 2024 Mazda SUV had been driving eastbound on the highway along the Stave River Bridge, when a westbound vehicle – a red 2002 Ford Focus hatchback – reportedly lost control and entered the oncoming lanes, striking the grey Mazda head-on,” police explained in a release.
Mounties say four people, not three, were taken to hospital.
“The driver and passenger of the Mazda, and the driver of the Ford, were all taken to hospital with various injuries. The passenger of the Ford – a 63-year-old woman from Mission – was taken to hospital in critical condition.”
Eastbound lanes on Highway 7 were closed while police investigated throughout the day but have since been reopened.
Impairment is not believed to have been a factor in the crash, and police say one report indicates that the red Ford may have been cut off by a grey van that was driving westbound on Lougheed Highway.
Witnesses are asked to call Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161, file 25-5315.
