Update: Two STARS choppers respond to Morrin Corner collision

A four-year-old girl is in critical condition in a Calgary hospital following a two-vehicle collision at Morrin Corner shortly before noon Friday.

The girl and an adult woman were airlifted by two separate STARS helicopters from the scene earlier today, which saw six people receive medical treatment.

Investigation has revealed that a 2013 Nissan Sentra with two adult occupants was northbound on Highway 9/56. The car failed to stop at the intersection of Highway 27 and collided with an eastbound Jeep carrying two adults and two children.

According to police, the driver of the Nissan is not a resident of Canada and not familiar with the area. At the time of the collision the repair work was being done to the flashing signal above the stop sign at the intersection.

Police say alcohol or drugs are not involved in this collision, and names are not being released at this time.

The Drumheller Fire Department, AHS Ambulance Services, Morrin Fire Department and Drumheller RCMP tended to the scene.

Traffic was rerouted for some time as emergency personnel tended to the injured, secured the scene and investigated the occurrence.
