A 25-year-old city man is facing an additional charge following a head-on collision.

The incident happened on June 20th on Dawson Road near Dog Lake Road and involved a minivan and an SUV.

All five people in the minivan were injured with the driver being hurt very seriously.

At the time police charged the SUV driver with Impaired Driving Causing Bodily Harm and three counts of Dangerous Driving Causing Bodily Harm.

Now he is also charged with driving while being impaired by cocaine.
