Okay so I driving on HWY 627 and was on my way home from a another photo shoot assignment when I noticed an accident ahead and pulled over. As a diligent reporter, I grabbed my camera and notebook and rushed to the scene. A red Ford truck travelling eastbound on Hwy 627  and a white Dodge truck travelling southbound on RGE RD 20 collided  June 5 around 7:30 a.m. Police said the Dodge came through the intersection and struck the Ford on the driver’s side. The family of six in the Ford were on their way to the Canadian Horse Breed Show near Spruce Grove. The driver of the Dodge was taken to hospital by ambulance. The family was shaken up but did not require immediate attention.

I arrived before any emergency service. It was pretty intense. 

The family of six were okay, except the 7-year-old boy’s face was banged up and bloody. The horses in the trailer appeared to be fine; they were quite calm.

The man in the white Dodge Pickup was taken to hospital via ambulance with chest injuries. 

No charges have been issued as of yet.

Here are some photos I took when on an assignment during the Stony Plain Kinsmen Rodeo, which takes place during Farmers’ Days, an annual event in the Parkland County area featuring a parade, midway rides, etc. I will be adding these photos to my photography portfolio. Tell me what you think?

Ladies barrel riding.

Junior bull riding. You can imagine that he went flying after this shot.

Horse to bull tackle in action.

Bull take down. Point.

Junior bull riding (again). These kids are good.
