A Fort Frances resident is facing charges following a serious collision earlier this year.

On January 6, the OPP responded to a serious collision on Highway 102 near Sistonens Corner between a semi-truck and a passenger vehicle.

The passenger of the car was ultimately treated for life-altering injuries.

The highway was closed for several hours following the collision, and an OPP Technical Collision Reconstructionist was brought in to help with the investigation.

As a result of the investigation, the driver of the passenger motor vehicle, a 20-years-old Fort Frances resident has been arrested and is facing the following charges:

• Dangerous operation causing bodily harm
• Impaired operation causing bodily harm

The accused has been released from custody with a future court date.
