Like a scene out of a movie, a northbound SUV hit the median and flew into the Bow River Wednesday afternoon just north of Dunbow Road on Deerfoot Trail sending one man to hospital with critical injuries.

Okotoks RCMP initially reported the driver and lone occupant of the vehicle as dead at the scene, but quickly revised that statement.

One man fishing in the river below the bridge actually had the vehicle fly over his head.

The impact was so severe, the fisherman's dog ran from the scene, but was found safe and sound a short time later.

The crash victim remains in hospital, while police continue their investigation.
