It was a busy couple days for STARS Air Ambulance throughout central Alberta over the Thanksgiving long weekend.
On Friday evening, STARS was called out at 6:06 p.m. to an area about 13 kilometres southwest of Three Hills where a 78-year-old man was reportedly trampled by cattle and sustained traumatic injuries as a result.
Officials say the man was provided critical care by team members and then flown to Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary.
Elsewhere, on Saturday STARS responded to an area about 16 kilometres northeast of Carstairs at 3:37 p.m. to transport a 51-year-old man suffering from traumatic injuries reportedly sustained by a hammer blow to the head.
