Three people were taken to hospital with traumatic injuries in three separate incidents on Saturday that required the assistance of STARS.

The first happened around 7:00 a.m. on July 14 when crews were called to a rural railroad crossing about five miles northeast of Lacombe to take a patient to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton following a train vs pedestrian collision.

A STARS spokesperson says the age and gender of the victim was not available, nor was the condition of the patient.

Later, around 4:00 p.m. a man in his 20’s was flown by STARS to Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary in critical condition following a skydiving accident at the Innisfail Airport.

Then shortly before 9:30 p.m., crews were called to a quad accident about 12 miles east of Olds where a man in his 20’s suffered serious injuries.
