“At approximately 3:15 p.m., on Monday, November 19, the Yellowknife RCMP attended a motor vehicle collision at the intersection of Kam Lake Road and Woolgar Avenue,” Plourde said. “A female driver was transported to the hospital for treatment of a non-life threatening injury.”

A witness on the scene told Moose News the woman was injured by the airbag deployment in her vehicle. Traffic was disrupted for a short period of time while crews on the scene cleaned up the debris from the two badly damaged vehicles involved.

The investigation is ongoing.
