Summary
A chilling incident unfolded in Evansburg, Alberta, when a truck allegedly struck a person in the Pembina Arena parking lot early Wednesday morning—then dragged the victim into the back of the vehicle and drove off. The victim was airlifted to Edmonton for treatment, while the suspect, who police say knew the victim, was eventually caught after attempting to flee. The RCMP’s major crimes unit is now investigating this aggravated assault, with the suspect reportedly carrying a troubling criminal history including assault, weapons offenses, and driving while prohibited. Community members are shaken by the violence in their everyday space, and police urge anyone with information to come forward through Crime Stoppers as charges are still pending.
