An official with STARS confirmed they transported one man from Brooks to hospital in Calgary. 

The semi driver was uninjured.

The crash closed Highway 876 and Range Road 124 at Highway 1.

Officials initially said they expected the area to be closed to traffic for several hours.

However, at around 5:30 p.m., RCMP opened one westbound and one eastbound lane.

The city of Brooks is located roughly 160 kilometres southeast of Calgary.
