A woman has been charged with impaired driving causing death and criminal negligence causing death in relation to a November highway crash that killed an eight-year-old girl, police say.
RCMP arrested a 40-year-old Edmonton woman on Friday, six weeks after a single-vehicle rollover on Highway 39.
Thorsby/Breton RCMP said in a news release Monday the investigation involved several witnesses who provided key evidence about the Nov. 26 crash.
The girl was a passenger in a Ford pickup, which RCMP said lost control and rolled into a guard rail at 8 p.m that evening.
The woman charged has been released on bail and is scheduled to appear in Breton provincial court on Feb. 8.
