“Two additional male passengers were taken to hospital by EMS with injuries described as serious, but non-life threatening, in nature.”
The woman who was driving the vehicle was taken to a hospital for assessment, police said, and was later arrested.
She’s now facing charges of impaired driving causing bodily harm, impaired driving causing death, operating a conveyance with a blood-alcohol level over 80mg/100ml causing bodily harm and operating a conveyance with a blood-alcohol level over 80mg/100ml causing death.
