CALGARY — Roads in and around Calgary are slick, leading to more than 100 crashes — including a 50-car pileup — since a snowstorm went through Thursday. Emergency crews responded around 9 a.m. Friday to a multi-vehicle crash on Stoney Trail between Chaparral Boulevard and Cranston Boulevard in the southern edge of the city. It took five hours for crews to reopen the roadway Friday afternoon after more than 50 vehicles were involved in the pileup. Several drivers involved in the crash told CTV Calgary that a wall of thick fog made it difficult to see what was in front of their vehicle. Roads are also extremely slippery, particularly on bridge decks, hills, intersections and exit ramps.
