The Lethbridge Police Service (LPS) is looking into potential criminal charges after a vehicle rolled over and sent two people to hospital.

At approximately 9:20 p.m. on Monday, May 26, police and EMS were called to a single vehicle rollover in the coulees behind the 800 block of Jessie Mcleay Road North.

LPS says a 33-year-old woman, who was a passenger, was found a short distance from the vehicle. The 35-year-old man who was driving the vehicle was still inside.

Both of them were taken to hospital to be treated for serious injuries.
