-An earlier version stated the 18-year-old man arrested was charged with attempted murder. He has been arrested but not charged at this time.

An 18-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly causing the crash that sent five people to the hospital in Prince Albert.

Back on Sunday, a vehicle struck a power pole on 22nd Street East near the Cooke Municipal Golf Course. Everyone in the vehicle was sent to the hospital with the 22-year-old driver needing to be flown to Regina where he continues to receive care.

It was first believed to have been a single-vehicle collision, however, it was later determined that a red GMC truck had discharged a firearm at the vehicle, striking the driver which caused him to crash.

Fast forward to Thursday when Carlyle RCMP and Moosomin RCMP initiated a traffic stop of a red GMC truck in Wawota. It was determined it was the suspect vehicle with the 18-year-old man, who has not been named at this time, being put under arrest. It wasn’t mentioned if they were the driver or if someone else was in the vehicle.
