A 34-year-old man from Lipton, Saskatchewan will be facing a judge tomorrow morning after allegedly driving a vehicle that was involved in a fatal collision on the Pasqua First Nation Friday night.

 

RCMP spokesman Sgt. Brad Kaeding says Walter Obey was allegedly driving a larger car that collided with a smaller vehicle on the main road of the reserve.

 

A 44-year-old woman from the reserve was killed in the crash.

 

The passengers of that car, two girls aged 6 and 11, were sent to hospital with undetermined injuries.

 

The driver of the other vehicle fled the scene of the accident on foot, but was later apprehended by Mounties in a nearby house.

 

Obey is currently charged with impaired driving causing death and break and enter.

 

Kaeding says several other charges are pending at this time, including four counts of impaired driving causing bodily harm, driving while disqualified and failing to remain at a collision scene.
