ATV driver facing impaired charges after passenger injured

An Alberta man is facing charges after a woman was thrown from an ATV and suffered injuries requiring aid from STARS. STARS was called to an area north of Lac La Biche on Saturday after a 23-year-old woman was injured in an ATV crash. Responding authorities were told the driver lost control on a sandy, tree-lined trail and the victim was thrown from the vehicle. While she was given first aid on scene, an air ambulance was called in due to the rugged terrain and remoteness of the crash location,
