A St. Theresa Point First Nation woman is charged with criminal negligence and dangerous driving in the death of a 43-year-old man who was hit by a vehicle and pinned underneath it.
Island Lake RCMP and First Nation Safety Officers were called to a vehicle-pedestrian collision on the winter road near St. Theresa Point just before midnight March 1. They found the man pinned under the vehicle but were able to lift it up and pull him out. He was taken to the nursing station for treatment but died of his injuries.
Officers learned that the man had been in the vehicle with a 39-year-old woman when they stopped and he got out. Police believe the woman then hit the man with the vehicle, which is how he got pinned underneath it.
Lynette Mcdougall is charged with criminal negligence causing death and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death and was remanded into custody.
Police continue investigating.
