A 24-year-old woman was flown to hospital in Calgary by STARS Air Ambulance after a crash on a highway north of the town of Cochrane on Saturday.

RCMP say emergency crews responded to the scene, at the intersection of Highway 22 and Highway 567, at approximately 11 a.m. on Saturday.

Officials say STARS was also called to the scene.

Officials with the service say a 24-year-old woman in critical condition was flown from the scene to Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary.
