A man was taken to hospital in critical condition after a car slammed into the back of a semi-truck near Deacon’s Corner on Sunday night.
Oakbank RCMP were sent to the collision on Provincial Road 207, near the Trans-Canada Highway, in the Rural Municipality of Springfield shortly before 9:40 p.m.
An investigation determined the semi-truck was turning south on Provincial Road 207 from Birkett Way, which is just north of Deacon’s Corner, when a sedan slammed into it, police said in a news release Tuesday. The truck did not have a trailer attached.
The car’s driver — a 27-year-old man from the Rural Municipality of St. Clements — remained in hospital in stable condition with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, RCMP said. The truck driver, a 31-year-old Calgary man, was not hurt.
The car was unregistered and had no “driving lights” on, RCMP said, adding speed and alcohol appear to be factors in the crash.
