The Grande Prairie RCMP has laid charges on a Grande Prairie man connected to a fatal collision that occurred in July and ultimately resulted in the death of a five-year-old.
Initial reports from the RCMP indicated a Ford F-350 was driving east on Highway 43 when it approached the intersection of Highway 43X and ran into numerous vehicles stopped for a red light. Several people were taken to the hospital with injuries.
As a result of their investigation, the RCMP has arrested 43-year-old Grande Prairie resident Edward Cameron and charged him with two counts of alleged dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death, two counts of operation of a motor vehicle while impaired by drug causing death, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm, and operation of a motor vehicle while impaired by drug causing bodily harm.
Following a judicial hearing, Cameron was released, with his next scheduled court date set for March 19th.
Police say as the matter is now before the courts, no additional updates are expected.
