SASKATOON — A woman charged in the deaths of a Saskatoon couple and their young son has appeared in court to face impaired driving charges.
Catherine Loye McKay is charged with three counts of impaired driving causing death in the crash on Sunday.
The 49-year-old was remanded in custody and is to appear in court again Thursday.
Court records list the victims as Jordan Van de Vorst, his wife Chanda Van de Vorst and two-year-old Miguire.
RCMP have said the couple's five-year-old daughter was also injured in the crash and taken to hospital.
Officers said the family was in a car that was struck by an SUV that was crossing Highway 11 just north of Saskatoon.
The 34-year-old man and 33-year-old woman were pronounced dead at the scene. The boy died a short time later in hospital.
The girl's injuries were described as serious and one media outlet reported Monday that she had died, but RCMP did not confirm the information.
Police had said the driver of the SUV was also taken to hospital for a short time.
"It's a tough situation. Very sad," Staff Sgt. Kevin Weber, commander of the Warman RCMP detachment, said Monday.
He said the crash remains under investigation and more charges may be laid.
