Update: May 6, 11 a.m.

Saskatoon Police have charged two men, a 14-year-old and a 24-year-old, in connection to Tuesday’s fiery crash that involved a vehicle stolen from Prince Albert.

Both are charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000.

Additionally, the 14-year-old faces additional charges of dangerous driving causing bodily harm, failing to stop after accident, and evading police.

The 24-year-old has also been charged with breaching court-imposed conditions, while a third person was arrested but not charged.

The 82-year-old driver of the other vehicle remains in hospital.

See below the original story:

Saskatoon Police said that a one of the two vehicles involved in a serious collision on Idylwyld Drive had been stolen from Prince Albert.

The crash happened around 8 a.m. Tuesday, with Corman Park Police first noticing the vehicle travelling south on Highway 11 after a complaint about how it was driving.

The officer attempted to pull the vehicle over but the driver continued southbound before entering city limits. The stolen SUV then crossed the ditch into oncoming lanes and struck a northbound Ford van, which subsequently caught fire. The 82-year-old man who was driving the van is in Royal University Hospital with serious injuries.

Because of the CPPS involvement before the crash, the Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT) has been notified and has taken conduct of the investigation.

Saskatoon Police said in the same afternoon news release that three people were arrested and charges are pending.
