7:33 p.m. - Sylvan Lake RCMP were dispatched to assist EMS at Sylvan Lake Multiplex for a motor vehicle collision. It was determined that a truck was angle parked in front of the doors to the Multiplex in the no parking zone (as indicated by the reverse angled yellow stripes on the pavement). The truck backed up and struck a mini van which had stopped right behind it to drop people off. A female had just exited the van and was standing on the ground between the van interior and the van door when the truck struck the outside of the van door. The door then partially crushed the pedestrian between the door and the van and the female fell to the ground. She sustained minor injuries.
The driver of the truck was visibly upset and said she did not see the van. Alcohol was not a factor in the incident.
10:58 p.m. – RCMP conducted a check stop on Highway 20 at Memorial Trail and noted the driver of a vehicle trying to avoid the check.

He was found to be on parole with a condition not to consume alcohol. The male was arrested at the scene and was escorted to remand on a parole warrant.
