Single-vehicle rollover in Calgary's deep south leaves 2 men seriously hurt
The driver of the vehicle has life-altering injuries while the passenger is in life-threatening condition
Two men were hospitalized with severe injuries Friday afternoon after a single-vehicle rollover near the southern outskirts of Calgary.
Police say they were called to the area of Deerfoot Trail S.E. and 212th Avenue S.E. at around 2:45 p.m. for reports of a single-vehicle rollover.
Investigators believe a white 2008 GMC Savana van, driven by a man in his 30s, was travelling south on Deerfoot Trail when it began to drift onto the centre median.
Officers say the driver lost control of the van, which caused it to roll up the median slope. The van then re-entered the road, rolling across all lanes of southbound Deerfoot before coming to a rest on the right-hand shoulder.
The driver of the van was taken to hospital with life-altering injuries and the passenger, another man in his 30s, was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition.
Investigators say neither excessive speed nor impairment are considered to be factors in the rollover.
Anyone who has information about or dashcam footage of the incident is asked to contact police.
