Obviously the guy wasn't going parking lot speed. It sucks that a person working in the bank got killed because of his stupidity. I hope they lock him in jail for the rest of his life.

The car wasnt there when I was there.

There was however a HUGE fuckin hole in the wall lol

It was all tarped up with white saran wrap type material.

It wasnt much to see, as soon as I pulled in 2 cops came up and asked what I was doing here, I just said I was going to the bank:)

But they asked me to leave right away, if I wasnt involved i should leave.:bullshit: lol

Then I was followed out by another cop car.

It seemed crazy how it happened, almost like he was going North bound on harvest hills drive and totally missed the road and into the bank at the bottom of the hill.

BIZZARE,
but they had those little tags they put on the ground for bulletts and such, like a marker.

There had to have been at least 20 of them, so maybe there was something more to this than losing control.??:dunno:

I know people die everyday, but when you know the whole story its different. To think that guy went to work this morning just as any other day, and that happens is just so sad. Such is life tho-I guess! Can't live everyday wondering if somethings will happen to you right?
All my condolences to the families for sure!
Keep us updated when more info's released..I'm so curious. I'm sure theres a logical explanation...maybe :dunno:

Subject: Car Strikes Alberta Treasury Branch - 10 Injured
From: EMS Public Information

-----BEGIN MD5 -----------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------
CITYBEAT - CITY OF CALGARY PRESS RELEASE
-----------------------------------------------------------------

At 11:00 AM Calgary EMS, police and fire responded to 388
Country Hills BV NE at the Alberta Treasury Branch. A vehicle
on Country Hills BV left the roadway and drove over a 25 – 30
foot high embankment, striking the Alberta Treasury Branch
building below. In what can only be described as a freak
occurrence, on the inside of the bank, at the exact place the
vehicle struck the building, nine staff members were meeting
in a board room when the tragedy occurred. All nine employees
and the driver of the vehicle were injured; injuries are as
follows:

Patient #1 An unknown age female, it appears she was
killed instantly and paramedics pronounced her dead at the
scene.

Patient #2 A 34-year-old male, he sustained a broken
jaw, head and facial lacerations and a concussion. He was
able to climb out of the wreckage and free himself before
emergency crews arrived. Paramedics transported him to the
Foothills Hospital in critical but stable condition.

Patient #3 An approximately 30-year-old male, when the
first emergency crews arrived at the scene, he was dazed and
walking within the wreckage. He sustained head and chest
injuries and was transported to the Foothills Hospital in
critical but stable condition.

Patient #4 A 25-year-old male, he sustained facial
injuries, a broken clavicle, head injuries and a lacerated
left leg. Paramedics transported him to the Foothills
Hospital in critical but stable condition.

Patient #5 A 27-year-old female, she was trapped under
the car inside the bank. For forty-five minutes, firefighters
and paramedics fought to free her from the wreckage.
Incredibly, she sustained only head and facial injuries,
including a broken jaw. She was transported to the Peter
Lougheed Hospital in serious but stable condition.

An additional four patients were assessed at the scene for
minor injuries but did not require transportation to a
hospital. These extremely fortunate individuals were also in
the meeting room where the car struck. All nine of the above
mentioned patients were bank employees.

Patient #10 A 68-year-old male, the driver of the car.
He sustained serious chest injuries and was transported to
the Peter Lougheed Hospital in stable condition.

Calgary EMS dispatched five ambulances, one Paramedic
Response Unit (11 paramedics total) and a Superintendent to
the scene of the incident.

The Calgary Police Service is investigating the incident and
they will provide any further details.

Subject: Country Hills Blvd. Motor Vehicle Collision / Collapsed Building Incident
From: John Conley

-----BEGIN MD5 -----------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------
CITYBEAT - CITY OF CALGARY PRESS RELEASE
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The Calgary Fire Department responded with Calgary Police and
EMS to a vehicle vs building collision this morning at 388
Country Hills Blvd. N.E.

Upon arrival, there was a car lodged inside an occupied
building. The car had left the roadway approximately 20 feet
above the building. The building, an Alberta Treasury Branch,
was open for business at the time of the collision. The car
landed in an occupied boardroom, trapping three of the
occupants. Firefighters had a lengthy extrication and had the
CFD Urban Search & Rescue Team on sight to assist. The USAR
Team's main mandate was to look after the shoring up of the
structure to make the area was safe for rescue personnel. To
complicate the scenario of the vehicle on top of the
patients, the walls and ceiling were in partial collapse on
top of the car.

There was 20 Firefighters on scene to perform the rescue
operation.

Further details regarding patient condition and scene
investigation will come from EMS and CPS respectively.

Most likely what happened is that the car headed straight for the curb, front wheels hitting, raising the car to a 45 and catapulted it over.....wouldn't need ridiculous speed for that to happen at all....

I feel so sorry for this chick and her family. I'm glad they didn't post her age or we would have know if she was young and didn't live her life to the fullest or not. R.I.P. I feel so sorry for her, she didn't see it coming just like everyone else. I hope she did live her life to the fullest. My condolences to her family and friends.

One thing I don't get is how the fence is still up, its only a little crooked and it didn't even break. :dunno:

Someone was on the radio this morning saying that the driver is a diabetic and went into insulin shock causing him to blackout.

The person who phoned in said his mom was the nurse that attended to the driver.

Still just speculation.

People who have medical conditions really shouldn't be on the road, its at an expense of other peoples lives. Don't the motor vehicle registries require some sort of medical check up to clear drivers over the age of 60+ before they can be allowed to drive??? If not i think its a good idea to have a yearly medical check up to report any new illness or health risk that would affect your driving ability.

BloNdie
12-11-2003, 09:12 AM
I think its when you turn 70 that you need a drivers medical, but you might be right :dunno: But either way, I totally agree with you. Aside the fact that ppl with medical problems have the right to lead a normal life, you need to be curdious, and causious knowing what may happen, and that you are putting other people, not to mention yourself, at danger when you get behind the wheel.

I'm pretty sure statistically its quite low, in reality I'd be more worried about the 16 year olds thinking their race car drivers than some geriatric who might have a stroke.

then why do you never hear of middle aged people or 20-50 yr old people "panicking and mistaking the accelerator for the brake"? When im that old, ill be able to admit when i cant drive. Thats why you have kids. to have them drive you around.

obviously somebody wasnt doing their job, either the test for his diabetes wasnt closely monitored this year, or he didnt take his fuckin insulin. no need to defend them. old people are the fuckin worst drivers out there. them and the 16 year olds. Its like some cosmic balance, when you hit 20-50 your an amazing driver.

granted yes, it could happen to anybody (heart attack or stroke). but most people do get physicalls done every year to look for these. its just like a car, you get tune ups done to check it out. but the #1 group in society to get heart attacks are males 65 and older on a monday morning. why? because they are probably retired and are so used to gettin up every morning for work, they realize they have nothing to do anymore and panic.

theres a fine line between freak accident and bad judgement of not knowing when not to drive.

i dont care how rude and mean i sound, that old man should have died. He was old, had a fulfilled life (least he better by the fuckin time hes 68) but these people were 25-35, they were still young.

First of all you don't even know what happened to this guy so why are you saying such stupid shit. Just because you are from the age of 2-50 doesn't make you a good or bad driver and the same goes for being over the age of 50.

Nobody knows why the car was going that fast. It could have been something else. Did anyone ever consider there was a problem with the car? Probably not because as soon as you hear someone say 'oh i heard he was a daibetic' you assume whatever the fuck you want. I'm not saying there was a problem with the car but you seem to be the ignorant (sp?) one by saying 'how dumb can you be'.

Before you wish shit like that on people maybe you should wait to see what the cause was. It could have been a mechanical problem with the car. Even if it was something medical it is not his fault. So any person with a disease/illness should not be able to drive? Anything can happen to anyone of us at any moment. I'm 26 and I could have a heart attack. There is no age restrictions on things like this.

I didn't even think about that. its so true, Although someone did loose there life becuase of this guy, its not like its just going to revelutionize the wa drivers medicals are done, or neting of that sort. TONS of ppl die all the time from drunk drivers, and yet nothing chages. I think sputs onto something with this arm thing ;) hah
and like roopi is saying, we can't all jump to conclusions before we know nething.

lets say this person that died was your wife? then how the fuck would you feel? oh thats right, you wouldnt be so quick to judge and defend this person. there are more ways to stop your car then a fuckin pedal, if you dont realize that, then read your fuckin owners manual.

Alright i took about 5 minutes to cool off after bein flamed.

yes i was pretty rude, but i still stand next to my judgement. nobody deserved to die. its majorly unfortunate that the young lady was killed, but again the tests havent been done and nobody is certain of what happened... yet. when its 100% set in stone what happened, then we can all form educated opinions, until then everybody is spoutin shit off, im guilty as is every else. so lets all take a chill pill and give the family a moment of silence for their loss.

Shit happens.

Bad things happen to good people. This is a freak accident, and I assure you the man driving the vehicle wishes he never got in the car that day. But it was not like he knew it was going to happen. Can't charge this guy with much, except manslaughter. If he's charged, I would expect a lienient punishment. It will be very difficult (impossible) to prove criminal intent if a diabetic stroke caused this.

The real tragedy is that so many people got hurt, and the young woman loses her life. :(

Just keep in mind that this kind of thing happens in a split second, and can happen to YOU.

I'm still a lot more worried by the drunk drivers who are out there EVERY SINGLE DAY. This kind of stuff happens what? Once a year in our city...

A guy at my work witnessed the whole thing, and was the first person on the scene besides the bank employees. He was driving in the lane closest to the bank, when the car cut him off, and crashed through the fence, and into the building. He said it was just flying! He pulled over and, ran into the bank to see if anyone was hurt, he also made the first call to the police. It's and interesting story to be told in person...
