2 hospitalized after crash in Leduc County
STARS flew a garbage truck driver to hospital after he was injured in a crash with a semi in Leduc County on Thursday.
A passenger in the garbage truck was taken by ground ambulance with serious injuries to hospital as well; the semi driver, a 57-year-old man, was not injured, according to Mounties.
RCMP and Millet firefighters were called sometime before noon to Range Road 245 and Township Road 484, south of Leduc.
The 53-year-old man driving the garbage truck and the 30-year-old man with him needed to be extricated.
The semi was pulling a trailer with three horses on board at the time of the crash. One remained stuck in the trailer as of noon but was freed with the help of a veterinarian.
The animals sustained minor injuries, RCMP said. They are investigating.
Commuters were asked to take alternate routes if possible, and if not, to leave room for emergency responders.
