Emergency crews were called to a rollover on Glenmore Trail at around 8 a.m. The crash occurred in the westbound lanes approaching Deerfoot Trail S.E.

Shortly after, a second rollover occurred just meters away on westbound Glenmore Trail approaching Blackfoot Trail S.E.

On its website, the City of Calgary said snow stopped falling shortly after 1 a.m. on Monday.

“Crews have been out there all night. We had extra crews out there last night, today and again tonight,” Chris McGeahey with the City of Calgary said. “The focus is to move as many Calgarians as possible safely through the city.”

Crews are focusing on plowing, salting and sanding Priority 1 routes. When Priority 1 routes have been cleared, crews will move on to Priority 2 routes.

As of 9 a.m., the City of Calgary said it does not anticipate the need to call a snow route parking ban.
