Driver charged following convenience store collision

A 38-year-old man is facing charges after a truck drove through the window of a convenience store in northwest Edmonton yesterday, sending four to hospital.

Officers were called to a gas station in the area of 96 Street and 118 Avenue on Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2015 at approximately 11:50 a.m. It was reported a Ford F150 vehicle intentionally collided with a gas station store after the male driver of the truck was told he needed to prepay for fuel.

The vehicle travelled through the front window of the store and struck a male and female employee, pinning both under the truck. They sustained serious, non-life threatening injuries. Both remain in hospital in serious, stable condition.

It is reported the male driver then exited the vehicle and allegedly assaulted two female employees who were treated and transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. They have since been released from hospital.

The driver exited the store and momentarily left the property before returning. He was arrested without incident by officers on scene.

Steven Cloutier, 38, faces charges of attempted murder (x4), assault with a weapon (x4), aggravated assault (x4), dangerous driving causing bodily harm (x4) and assault (x2).
