ORIGINAL ARTICLE - AUGUST 3:
A collision on Monday has sent an individual to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The incident took place at the turn-off to Lac Pelletier, where a lake goer was travelling while towing a boat. The injured party was unable to avoid the boat and struck it while at speed.
Responding to the scene of the collision was the RM of Swift Current Fire Department. Amongst those crew responding was Louis Cherpin, the Fire Chief for the RM of Swift Current. They responded to the call at 4:30 p.m.
“A person was coming up the hill going eastbound, pulling a boat and a small car collided with the boat and caused the motor vehicle collision,” confirmed Cherpin.
The boat was damaged, along with the car. The towing vehicle was left with only minor damages, with none of the occupants being severely injured.
This matter is still under investigation.
