The driver of the SUV and five others were taken to hospital. The SQ say their injuries are non-life-threatening.

The SQ also says that alcohol could be a factor, claiming the suspect had almost double the legal amount of alcohol in his system.

He could face charges for impaired driving causing death when he appears in court Saturday afternoon.
