On February 9, 2014, at about 5pm, Swan River RCMP, EMS from Mafeking and EMS from Swan River were dispatched via 911 to a single motor vehicle collision at the bridge in Mafeking, approximately 70km north of Swan River.

Police say that a 2011 Ford Escape had gone through the community at excessive speed, lost control, went air borne and landed in a creek. Of the three occupants, two received non-life threatening injury (the driver and one of the passengers), and were transported to hospital.

RCMP report that a 32-year-old female from the RM of Swan River has been charged with driving carelessly under the Highway Traffic Act.

Alcohol is not believed to be a factor in this incident, but speed is believed to be a contributing factor.
