FORT MCMURRAY, Alta. – A court document alleges a man charged with driving into a northern Alberta restaurant, killing an employee, had been medically suspended from driving.
Police charged 28-year-old Roger Sierra of Calgary with criminal negligence causing death after a Ford F-350 pickup truck crashed Saturday into a Boston Pizza in Fort McMurray, Alta.
Police say a 24-year-old employee was hit by the pickup and later died in hospital.
A court document detailing the charge accuses Sierra of being under a medical suspension that prohibited him from driving.
In Alberta, drivers can have their licence suspended if they have medical conditions that affect the safe operation of a vehicle.
Sierra is scheduled to appear in court in Fort McMurray on Dec. 4.
A GoFundMe page for the worker’s family says they’re devastated and trying to cope with the woman’s death. As of Wednesday morning, nearly $65,000 has been raised.
