Her four kids, age eight to 14, were all sent to hospital but their injuries aren’t life-threatening. The driver of the pickup was uninjured.

RCMP Cpl. Mike Halskov said all those involved in the collision are from the area.

He said driver impairment has been ruled out as a factor but investigators are seeking witnesses and dashcam footage of how the pickup was being driven before the crash.
