Man charged in Saskatchewan crash that killed 3 women from Edmonton
The three women were from Edmonton's Liberian community.
RCMP have charged a man in connection with a fatal collision in Saskatchewan that killed three women from Edmonton last week.
Brandon Stucka, 26, of Lloydminster has been charged with criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm.
Staff Sgt. Rob Embree spoke to media Wednesday in Regina about the investigation into the fatal collision that occurred on Highway 16 near Lloydminster on Sept. 22.
A stolen flat-deck truck hit a minivan during the incident. Two women inside the van, 37 and 35, were pronounced dead at the scene, while a 53-year-old woman later died from her injuries. The three were from Edmonton’s Liberian community.
Stucka faces a total of 10 charges, which also include dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death, failure to stop at the scene of an accident and flight from police.
Asked why Stucka is facing only one count of criminal negligence causing death when three people were killed in the crash, Embree said the decision about charges was made after consulting with Crown prosecutors.
