The 72-year-old Duncan man who was driving the blue Dodge Ram was seriously injured while his 62-year-old passenger, a Victoria man, was killed.

On April 18, 2026, the alleged driver of the black Dodge Ram, 49-year-old Iain Lemon of Duncan, was served a court Summons for the following charges:

1. Impaired driving causing death, section 320.14(3) of the Criminal Code,
2. Impaired driving causing bodily harm, section 320.14(2) of the Criminal Code,
3. Dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death, section 320.13(3) of the Criminal Code,
