SASKATOON – Sentencing has been pushed back for a woman responsible for the deaths of two Saskatoon teens in a motor vehicle crash. Cheyann Peeteetuce was 21 when she was driving a stolen truck that collided with two other vehicles at 22nd Street West and Avenue M in May 2014.

Sarah Wensley and James Haughey, both 17, were killed in the crash. A third person in the car, a girl who was 16 at the time, survived but was seriously injured.
