A highway collision northeast of Edmonton sent two individuals to hospital and has led to a St. Albert man being accused.
In a press release, Fort Saskatchewan RCMP said officers were summoned to a two-vehicle collision at Highway 15 and Highway 21 at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday.
They said both vehicles involved were pickup trucks.
The driver and passenger in one of the pickup trucks were transported to hospital. Police said one of the victims’ injuries were severe but they were expected to survive.
The driver of the other pickup truck was unharmed, but was taken into custody.
“Police remained on scene for several hours investigating,” the RCMP said. “Initial investigation indicates that …. (one vehicle) rear-ended the other vehicle.”
Police did not name the man they arrested but said he has been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm, impaired operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm and operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol level over 80 mg % causing bodily harm.
Traffic was redirected from the area until about 6:30 a.m. while emergency crews and investigators worked at the scene.
