Calgary’s Stoney Trail Southeast has become the site of a major traffic disruption due to a multi-vehicle collision, causing significant delays for vehicles traveling east and west over the Bow River. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) are currently on the scene, managing the aftermath of the accident.
As of now, westbound traffic is moving at an extremely slow pace, with a backlog extending all the way to Deerfoot Trail. The accident involves multiple vehicles, and an online video reveals an ambulance and approximately three damaged cars at the location. The extent of injuries, if any, remains unclear as no official information has been released by the police at the time of this report.
This incident follows a tragic collision in the northeastern part of Stoney Trail that occurred in the early morning hours on Thursday, October 19. In that case, a Ford Edge reportedly veered off the road, traversed a ditch, and collided with an overpass support beam on the west side of the street. The collision, described as occurring “at a high speed,” resulted in the unfortunate death of a 50-year-old male. While speed is believed to have played a role, authorities have stated that alcohol or narcotics are not implicated in that particular incident.
Details regarding the current multi-vehicle collision on Stoney Trail Southeast are still emerging, and the cause remains unknown. The presence of EMS indicates an ongoing response to the situation, and commuters are advised to anticipate continued delays as authorities work to manage the aftermath and investigate the circumstances surrounding the accident.
