MOOSE JAW — The Moose Jaw Police Service has charged a 41-year-old male with three counts of attempted murder following a motor vehicle collision on the east side of the city.
On May 30, around 6:15 p.m., the police service responded to a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Thatcher Drive East and Highway 1.
Once on scene, officers noticed significant damage to both pick-up trucks involved in the collision. Through their investigation, they determined that one of the pick-up trucks was travelling at a high rate of speed and intentionally rear-ended the other pick-up truck, which had three occupants within the vehicle.
“Following the collision, the male assaulted the driver of the other vehicle with a baseball bat,” the police said. “Police also discovered that the accused and the three victims were known to one another.”
EMS later transported the three victims to the hospital, where they were treated for minor injuries.
The male has been remanded to the Regina Correctional Centre and will appear in Moose Jaw Provincial Court at a later date.
Police are asking residents and businesses in the area who may have video footage of the collision to bring it to the Moose Jaw Police Service, as it may help in the ongoing investigation.
