THREE people are dead and five
were injured in a motor- vehicle
collision involving Moose Lake
residents on Provincial Road 384
on Friday.
Moose Lake is located about 75
kilometres south of The Pas.
According to Moose Lake RCMP,
an SUV carrying five passengers
was in a head- on collision with a
car.
Three occupants of the car - the
41- year- old male driver, a 37- yearold
male passenger from Opaskwayak
Cree Nation and a 51- yearold
female from Moose Lake were
declared dead at the scene.
The 47- year- old male driver of
the SUV, along with two passengers,

two- year- old girl, all from Moose
Lake, were taken to hospital with
undetermined injuries.
Another two passengers in the
car, a 34- year- old female and
42- year- old female, were also
taken to hospital with undetermined
injuries. Both were from

have yet to be determined.
Three dead
in northern
road crash
B RANDON - A Manitoba woman
who was high on a mix of prescription
drugs when she left her
infant in a stroller in the middle of the
street has been fined $ 500 and put on
probation for two years.
Judge Donovan Dvorak called the
woman's actions " a stunning act of
parental neglect."
The 24- year- old mother pleaded
guilty this week to abandoning her sixmonth-
old daughter.
Crown attorney Grant Hughes said
on June 5 around 3 a. m., a man and his
girlfriend on a balcony saw a woman
push a stroller, then leave it in the
middle of the street and keep walking.
The man moved the stroller off the
street, called police and stayed with
the baby until officers arrived.
The man provided a description
of the woman and police found her,
drowsy and confused, behind a building
near where the baby was left.
She told police that she'd been walking
to her friend's home and thought
she'd left her child there.
But at the police station, she said she
was walking home after abusing prescription
pills for most of the night.
" She stated that she wasn't in the
right frame of mind, forgot that she
had her baby with her so she continued
walking," Hughes said. " She appeared
to be remorseful."
Defence lawyer Bob Harrison said
his client - who was " very high" that
night - took several prescription
drugs.
She has no memory of what happened
and at the time didn't realize
what she'd done, Harrison said.
Harrison noted that his client hasn't
abused her medications since the incident.
The woman has already attended a
residential substance- abuse program,
Hughes said.
The woman has two children, including
the one she left in the stroller.
" I'm sorry. What I did is not good
parenting," the woman said in court,
adding she's taking parenting courses
and focused on keeping drug- free.
