A Prince Albert woman has been charged with impaired driving following a five-month investigation into a fatal rollover on a rural road north of the city.
Officers were called to the crash site on Whitfield Road in the RM of Buckland on Aug. 4, 2024, according to a Saskatchewan RCMP news release. One woman was declared dead at the scene by paramedics. The woman behind the wheel and a male passenger were taken to hospital for treatment.
The Prince Albert detachment continued to investigate with help from an RCMP collision analyst, and on Jan. 22, officers arrested 33-year-old Destiny Michel for dangerous driving and impaired driving causing death.
Michel is scheduled to appear in provincial court on Feb. 13 in Prince Albert.
