A 29-year-old man from the Sturgeon Lake First Nation is facing charges in connection with a fatal crash just south of Emma Lake more than three years ago.
According to the RCMP, officers were called to the scene of a collision involving a truck and a car at the intersection of Okema Beach Road and Highway 263 on April 4, 2022. The driver and only occupant of the car, a 64-year-old man from the Prince Albert area, was declared dead at the scene.

“The truck involved in the collision was abandoned at the scene,” the RCMP said in a statement.
“Investigation determined that the truck was previously reported as stolen out of Leask, SK on April 3, 2022.”
The RCMP said the 29-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday. He’s now facing charges of dangerous driving causing death, failing to stop after an accident resulting in death, and possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000.
He’s expected to appear in a Prince Albert courtroom on Wednesday, police said.
