A 23 year-old man from the Big Island Lake Cree Nation faces numerous charges after a serious accident five kilometres east of Pierceland.

 

RCMP say a car swerved across the highway and struck a car carrying two people from the Flying Dust First Nation head-on.

 

Four people were taken to hospital for further observation and treatment.

 

Authorities say alcohol and weather contributed to the accident.
