Around noon on Saturday, Nov. 19, a car headed westbound was struck by another car headed north at the intersection of Hwy. 56 and 44 Ave in Stettler.
The westbound car was being driven by a Stettler woman in her 60s. Although she stopped at the stop sign at 44 Ave, she unfortunately proceeded before safe, and was struck by the northbound car on Highway 56 driven by a man in his 90s.
No one was seriously injured, and the collision was not attributed to either alcohol, substance abuse or bad weather conditions.
"Charges have been laid," Stettler RCMP detachment commander Sgt. Phil Penny said.
The charge is "fail to proceed safely after stopping."
Although no one was injured, both drivers were taken to Stettler hospital for precaution.
