The eastbound lanes of the Trans-Canada Highway west of Calgary were closed for several hours after two semi-tractor trailer units collided on Thursday morning.

The crash happened in the eastbound lanes at about 2:30 a.m. near Sibbald Creek Trail.

EMS officials say a man in his 50s was taken to Foothills Medical Centre in stable, non-life threatening condition. The driver of the second truck sustained minor injuries.

One of the trucks was tipped onto its side and spilled its cargo onto the roadway.

The eastbound lanes of the highway were closed while crews worked to clean up the debris.

Both lanes have since reopened and police are investigating.

Anyone who witnessed the crash is asked to go to the Cochrane RCMP detachment to provide a statement.
