Calgary police are investigating after a tow truck driver was hit by a vehicle and then taken to hospital with serious injuries.
Police and EMS were called to northbound Deerfoot Trail just prior to 16 Ave NE around 7:30 p.m. Monday after reports a person had been struck on the roadway.
Upon arrival, EMS found a man in the 30s had been hit while providing roadside assistance to a broken down vehicle in the far left lane.
Apparently the man was hit, flew up onto the windshield and then fall back to the roadway.
He was taken to hospital in serious but stable condition with pelvic and lower body injuries, EMS said. The female driver of the vehicle who hit the pedestrian wasn't injured.
Straight stretch of road - setting up pylons and flares? Fucking ridiculous!
You guys know CPS will blitz the 60zone passing stopped emergency vehicles now... That I'm looking forward to...
