A woman charged after a fatal rollover north of Prince Albert has, by way of her lawyer, entered a guilty plea to impaired driving causing death.

Destiny Michel is now scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 1.

As per discussions heard Wednesday afternoon at Prince Albert Provincial Court, a pre-sentence report has been ordered and will canvass Michel’s personal background and Gladue factors.

On Aug. 4, 2024, Prince Albert RCMP received a report of a single vehicle rollover on Whitfield Road, in the Rural Municipality of Buckland.

Officers immediately responded. The passenger, 32-year-old Esther McCallum, was declared deceased by EMS at the scene.
