MEDICINE HAT, ALTA- A high speed crash in Crescent Heights has sent three men to hospital.

According to police, a 911 call about the incident was recieved at 11:45 p.m. Sunday night. A blue Hyundai Genesis had been traveling northbound on Altawana Drive at a high rate of speed after crossing the Maple Avenue Bridge, and lost control near the entrance to 7 Street Northwest.

The car hit a stone retaining wall on the north side of the street, and carried on into the front yard of a nearby home. Both the home and a van parked near the structure sustained damage as a result of debris from the wall flying out from the crash.

The three male occupants of the car have since been taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries, while no injuries to the occupants of the home were reported.

Police are continuing to investigate the incident, and could not confirm if the driver of the vehicle was impaired during the crash due to the ongoing investigation.
