A tragic accident occurred on Anthony Henday Drive in Alberta, Canada, resulting in one fatality and one serious injury. The incident took place when two SUVs were stopped on the shoulder to change a tire, and while both drivers were outside their vehicles, they were struck by a third vehicle, a Jeep Grand Cherokee. The collision claimed the life of a 53-year-old man at the scene, while a 21-year-old individual was transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) reported that the vehicles involved included a Chevrolet Suburban and an Acura MDX, both belonging to Calgary residents. Despite their efforts at roadside maintenance, the drivers were unfortunately caught in a dangerous situation. The 21-year-old driver of the Jeep also sustained minor injuries and has been taken to hospital for treatment. Following the incident, the area was closed to traffic for several hours while investigations were underway.

Investigators have not yet released further details regarding the ongoing inquiry into the crash. The circumstances surrounding the incident highlight the risks associated with changing a tire on busy roads and the importance of safety measures for roadside assistance. With the roads in the vicinity reopened after clearing the scene, attention now turns to the safety protocols for such roadside emergencies to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
