An 18-year-old is facing an attempted murder charge after allegedly driving into a group of people near the University of Regina over the weekend.
Police were called to the 1400 block of Kramer Boulevard just after 3 a.m. on June 14 after a vehicle reportedly collided with a group of people – causing several injuries.
Officers learned that an 'altercation' had occurred between several people. As that was happening, a vehicle drove into the group – striking two people – before crashing into a tree.
The driver fled the scene.
Officers and paramedics arrived on scene and tended to the victims, one of which was taken to hospital with serious but ultimately non-life-threatening injuries. The other victim sustained minor injuries.
As police were at the scene investigating – the suspect returned to the scene and identified himself to police.
He was arrested without incident.
The 18-year-old faces one count of attempted murder, two counts of dangerous operation of a conveyance causing bodily harm, one count of failure to stop after an accident that results in bodily harm and one count of operating a conveyance dangerous to the public.
The accused made his first appearance on the charges in Regina provincial court on Monday.
