PRINCE ALBERT — A woman was arrested on Wednesday after the Prince Albert Police Service attended to the scene of a motor vehicle collision involving a recently stolen vehicle.
On Dec. 18 at approximately 7:30 p.m. while on regular patrol, officers observed the aftermath of a two-vehicle collision in the 3500 block of 2nd Avenue West.
Officers quickly requested paramedics and firefighters attend the scene.
Shortly after, officers learned one of the vehicles had been stolen prior to the accident.
It is believed the owner of the vehicle entered a business, and upon exiting, a woman got in his vehicle and began to drive away at a high rate of speed, before colliding with another vehicle on 2nd Avenue.
Officers were able to arrest the woman who initially attempted to flee. As a result, the 28-year-old woman is facing charges relating to theft of a motor vehicle, dangerous driving, failure to remain at the scene of an accident, and breaching probation (x3).
Paramedics attended to the occupants of the second vehicle; all four were taken to hospital with what were believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.
