CALGARY -- Two people are in critical condition following a Tuesday evening crash in the city's northeast involving a driver who had been stabbed minutes earlier.

Emergency crews responded to a location along Falton Drive N.E. shortly after 8 p.m. after a vehicle struck a row of parked cars and landed on its side.

The stabbing victim attempted to flee the scene in a vehicle and the offender attempted to grab the moving vehicle and was dragged.
