Mounties say a five-year-old girl was killed and three others sent to hospital after a crash involving a stolen pickup truck in eastern Alberta.
RCMP Supt. Anthony Hanson says the crash happened Tuesday near Cold Lake.
The girl was in a minivan with her 27-year-old mother, a 30-year-old man and a 10-month-old boy.
Mounties would not provide other details on how the four people were related, but say that they were travelling in a family vehicle.
Hanson says investigators determined that the truck was stolen in Lashburn, Sask., about 200 kilometres southeast of where the crash occurred.
The vehicle was stolen three days before from a Good Samaritan who stopped on the side of the road.
A 34-year-old man from Bonnyville, described as a prolific offender out on bail, was arrested Wednesday and charged with various offences, including failing to stop at the scene of a collision causing death.
