A criminal collision team investigation resulted in Cst. Victoria Forbes being charged with dangerous operation causing bodily harm.
She has been with the RCMP for one year and, following the crash, will remain on administrative duties based on the charge.
Once the matter is resolved, her duty status will be reviewed. She is scheduled to appear in court later this month.
