A two-car collision south of Calgary has sent one passenger in serious condition to hospital via STARS air ambulance Friday evening.

RCMP told CBC News that just before 5:30 p.m., a two-vehicle collision was reported on Highway 2 at 370 Avenue E. in Foothills County, just outside of Okotoks, Alta.

A vehicle was attempting to cross Highway 2 and was T-boned by a vehicle heading south.

There were two people in each vehicle — all of whom were sent to hospital.

A man in his 40s from one of the vehicles was transported to the Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary by STARS air ambulance. He was in serious condition, RCMP said.
