A 31 year-old Regina is currently facing two charges in connection with a collision early this morning in which a 20 year-old Regina female died. The collision also resulted in serious injuries to a 21 year-old male, who remains in hospital. This is part of an ongoing investigation.
At approximately 12:59 a.m. today, Sunday, June 30, 2013, police were dispatched to the scene of a motor vehicle collision involving a truck and car at the intersection of Wascana Drive and Broad Street. Police arrived and located three people: a female, who was pronounced deceased by EMS at the scene; a 21 year-old male, who was taken to hospital by EMS with undetermined injuries; and a 31 year-old male. The preliminary investigation indicates that a car, driven by the 20 year-old female with the 21 year-old male as a passenger, was westbound on Wascana Drive and may have been turning left, or south-bound, onto Broad Street. A truck, driven by the 31 year-old male, was northbound on Broad Street. The two vehicles collided in the intersection, with the main point of impact between the front end of the truck and the driver’s side door of the car. The deceased female has been identified and her next of kin have been notified; however, police will not be releasing her name at this time.
Motor vehicle collisions are complex investigations, especially when there is a fatality involved. This investigation is ongoing, but at this time, the 31 year-old driver of the truck is facing two charges.
Thirty-one year-old Mark Russel STINSON, DOB: 1982-03-10, of Regina, is charged with Impaired Driving [253(1)(a) CC] and Exceed .08 [253(1)(b) CC]. He has been released on an undertaking to appear in court on August 28, 2013. In the interim, collision investigators will continue their work on this case.
