An investigation is underway into a Monday morning crash involving a car and a motorcycle that sent one person to hospital.

The collision occurred shortly after 7 a.m. at the intersection of Barlow Trail and 76th Avenue S.E. in the Foothills Industrial Park.

Calgary Police Service officials confirmed the motorcyclist, a man in his 20s, suffered a broken leg and arm in the crash and was taken to hospital in non-life-threatening condition.
