    Have you thought about seeing if the Calgary Sun or the Herald are interested in those pictures?

    he probably means that the car hit the lamp post.
    I saw that last nite but I didn't really look closely since I was on the other side of memorial.

    BTW, did anyone see that burning car at Memorial Southbound near the Zoo on Friday?

    I was roaring down memorial E and saw the firetrucks and stuff on the other side so I booked it and went under memorial Via Barlow and then pulled over ahead of the accident and ran to half way up the hill and snapped some pics.

    AT 1:23 AM Calgary EMS responded with CFD to a single vehicle
    motor vehicle crash at Memorial Drive near Deerfoot Trail.


    Calgary Police Service members witnessed a vehicle lose
    control and strike the concrete barrier and then a light
    standard. The vehicle sustained major damage and injured the
    3 occupants.

    Firefighters worked to extricate the patients while
    paramedics treated the patients.

    Patient One: the driver was a 22 year old male. He suffered
    only minor injuries and was transported to Foothills Hospital
