Early Sunday morning, at around 1:30, Canmore RCMP along with Canmore Fire and Emergency Medical Services responded to a single vehicle collision on Bench-land Trail just Southeast of highway 1 in the Town of Canmore.

The vehicle, driven by a lone male, lost control and went up on the sidewalk hitting a light standard. The male had to be removed from the vehicle by Canmore Fire and transported to hospital via STARS Air Ambulance in serious condition.

The collision is still under investigation and Alcohol is believed to be a factor.
