A 35-year-old Englefeld man faces a number of impaired driving-related charges after a collision in Watson.

Humboldt RCMP were called to the crash at the junction of Highway 5 and Highway 6 at about 3:45 p.m. Feb. 7.

An eastbound sport utility vehicle collided with a southbound semi, causing severe damage to the SUV.

A child passenger in the SUV was treated on scene by EMS but was released with what were described as minor injuries.
