Hey there, time traveller!

Charges are pending against a 27-year-old man involved in a three-vehicle collision along Kirkcaldy Drive on Tuesday night that sent six people to hospital.
At about 8:37 p.m., Brandon police responded to a report of a collision on Kirkcaldy Drive. It seems that a westbound Pontiac Grand Prix driven by the 27-year old slammed into a small SUV driven by a woman as she was making a northbound turn from Kirkcaldy onto Cater Drive.
The Grand Prix then also collided with an eastbound minivan driven by another woman.
All three vehicles were extensively damaged from the collision.
Brandon Police Sgt. Dave Andrew told the Sun that STARS air ambulance transported the driver of the Pontiac to a Winnipeg hospital with severe, but non-life threatening injuries. The 27-year-old remains in hospital this morning.
In total, nine people were involved in the collision, with six people transported and admitted to hospital. One of the injured includes a five-year-old child who received a head injury as a result of the crash. The child is in stable condition.
Speed, alcohol and drug use are believed to be factors in the accident, Sgt. Andrew said, with charges pending against the male driver of the pontiac. A Brandon police collision analyst attended the scene and continues to investigate.
