Bail hearing held for accused in Big River hit-and-run
A Big River man accused of driving impaired and injuring five youth appeared in court this morning seeking his release on bail.
Colt Levi Morin, 20, is facing numerous charges including impaired driving causing bodily harm after he allegedly struck five youth with his vehicle while they were walking home from soccer practice April 9. All five youth were injured in the incident, and an 11-year-old girl was taken to Saskatoon for treatment by STARS Air Ambulance.
Morin appeared this morning in Prince Albert Provincial Court via video link from the Prince Albert Correctional Centre seeking his release from custody.
Crown prosecutor Gail Douglas said statements and evidence gathered by Big River RCMP indicate Morin was drinking at a bar in Debden April 9, and left the bar in a truck which broke down a short distance outside the reservation. Friends in a white four-door car offered a ride, Douglas said, and Morin allegedly took over driving.
