Following a months-long investigation, police said Thursday that investigators believe the driver of the vehicle had made an illegal U-turn at the intersection that led to the crash.

A 39-year-old woman from Winnipeg has now been charged with disobeying a traffic control device causing life-threatening injuries as well as driving carelessly causing life-threatening injuries under the Highway Traffic Act.

The woman has been released on a promise to appear in court.
