An out-of-control SUV veered off 30th Avenue and smashed through fences and a deck before coming to rest in Anders around 12:30 p.m. Monday.
Eyewitness Drew Hagerman said he could see there was something wrong with the driver before his northbound SUV accelerated and swerved off 30th Avenue, jumped the median, mounted a berm and crashed through backyard fences before slamming into a deck on Alexander Crescent.
“The male occupant started to have medical issues,” said Hagerman, who works in the oilfield and has taken a number of first aid-type courses. “He was convulsing. I could see him through the rear window of his vehicle.
“At first I thought he was laughing at something he (heard) on the radio but then his head lolled against the driver’s side window.
“That’s when the vehicle accelerated and jumped into the residential area.
The driver was taken to hospital. The RCMP said his injuries are not believed to be serious.
Police confirmed the driver suffering a medical condition was believed to have been the cause of the collision. No charges will be laid.
