Alcohol factor in critical U-turn collision: Cochrane RCMP

Cochrane RCMP believe alcohol was a factor in a serious car crash Saturday afternoon on highway 1A.

The investigation reveals at 6:30 p.m., a car was making a U-turn to avoid heavy traffic and was hit from the side by a Cadillac.

The two men in the car were critically injured and one was flown by STARS to the Foothills Hospital in Calgary.

A woman in the Cadillac was also taken to a hospital but only with minor injuries.

Mounties hope the story will serve as a reminder about the dangers of drinking and driving as the summer season ramps up and traffic increases.
