An online fundraising campaign has been initiated to support two Sterling Crane operators from Calgary who sustained severe injuries in a tragic accident on Highway 22 this past Thursday.
Details of the Incident
According to a GoFundMe page, the two men were airlifted to Foothills Medical Centre with serious, life-threatening injuries following the crash. At the time of the incident, they were returning from a day shift.
The fundraiser states: "Both have a long road ahead of them to recovery. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated."
Fundraising Progress
As of Friday afternoon, nearly $30,000 has been raised toward the fundraising goal of $50,000. The community has shown strong support for the injured workers and their families.
The accident occurred along Highway 22, a route known for heavy traffic and occasional incidents. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
Friends, family, and colleagues have rallied together to organize the fundraiser, hoping to alleviate some of the financial burdens associated with medical expenses and recovery. The crane operators are well-known in the local industry, and the outpouring of support reflects the high regard in which they are held.
Anyone wishing to contribute can visit the GoFundMe page to make a donation. The campaign will remain active until the goal is reached.
