ATV driver struck, dragged Sask. park officer: RCMP
The driver of an all-terrain vehicle accused of hitting and dragging a Saskatchewan environment ministry park officer on Saturday is now facing five criminal charges.
He's also been charged with four Criminal Code driving offences plus assaulting a peace officer following alleged incidents in Duck Mountain Provincial Park on Sunday.
According to the Kamsack RCMP, just after 3:30 p.m. CST, environment ministry officers were trying to stop an ATV that had a driver and one passenger. It was a "side-by-side" ATV, police said.
The suspects fled, but were located later on a trail in the park.
Two park officers who were on foot tried to stop it. One was struck by the ATV and was dragged for a short distance.
He received minor injuries and was treated and released from hospital.
The other officer got out of the way and wasn't injured.
