Loria says all of the teens were boys and that one of them suffered multiple serious injuries, although he adds the teen is expected to survive.Duane Needham, owner of the Bottrel General Store, which operates the campground for Rocky View County, says hail was so intense he couldn’t even see the campground from the store and dozens of trees were toppled.

He says they had to remove a branch that was pinning the boy who was most seriously injured, noting the boy was speaking and was able to move his hands and feet. Loria said one of the teens was taken by ground ambulance to Foothills Hospital in Calgary in stable, non-life-threatening condition. The remaining two were taken to Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary with minor injuries, Loria said.
