Two children have been taken to hospital after receiving life-threatening injuries in a collision between an off-highway vehicle and a truck.
On Saturday, June 17 at 2:34 p.m., Airdrie RCMP received a report of a serious injury collision between a motor vehicle and an off-highway vehicle on Range Road 252, south of Township Road 310 near Linden.
Upon arrival, emergency responders treated the two occupants of the OHV who have been identified as 10-year-old and 3-year-old girls. Both girls were taken to hospital and remain in serious life-threatening condition.
The driver of the pickup was uninjured.
RCMP had Range Road 252 blocked for several hours while they investigated the collision.
Although early in the investigation, RCMP believes the OHV entered the roadway from a rural residential driveway when it was struck by the passing pickup.
