A motorcycle collision that occurred yesterday (July 24) afternoon sent two to hospital.

Naomi Nania, Public Education Officer with EMS, says the collision occurred at roughly 5:30 p.m. on Highway 1A just west of Goodstoney Rodeo Grounds on Riverbend Road.

Nania shares Nakoda EMS was on scene and the collision involved two motorcycles. "Two bikes were involved and two patients, one male and one female. The male patient was stable and was taken to Foothills Hospital, while the female was in serious but stable condition due to the mechanism of the accident and was also taken to Foothills Hospital."

There are no further details available at this point or whether charges are pending. Traffic on Highway 1A was affected for a period of time as emergency crews worked to clean up the site. 

This is the second collision involving a motorcycle(s) in just over a week within the Cochrane area.
