Man charged with attempted murder after allegedly ramming group with vehicle near University of Regina
An 18-year-old is facing an attempted murder charge after allegedly driving into a group of people near the University of Regina over the weekend.
Police were called to the 1400 block of Kramer Boulevard just after 3 a.m. on June 14 after a vehicle reportedly collided with a group of people – causing several injuries.
Officers learned that an 'altercation' had occurred between several people. As that was happening, a vehicle drove into the group – striking two people – before crashing into a tree.
The driver fled the scene.
Officers and paramedics arrived on scene and tended to the victims, one of which was taken to hospital with serious but ultimately non-life-threatening injuries. The other victim sustained minor injuries.
As police were at the scene investigating – the suspect returned to the scene and identified himself to police.
He was arrested without incident.
The 18-year-old faces one count of attempted murder, two counts of dangerous operation of a conveyance causing bodily harm, one count of failure to stop after an accident that results in bodily harm and one count of operating a conveyance dangerous to the public.
The accused made his first appearance on the charges in Regina provincial court on Monday.

Scammers using QR codes to target people paying for parking: B.C. RCMP
The Penticton RCMP issued a warning about the scam Wednesday, saying stickers with QR codes are showing up on parking meters and pay stations. 'When scanned, these codes direct users to fraudulent websites that mimic legitimate parking payment systems. Victims unknowingly enter their personal and financial information, which can then be stolen and used for fraudulent transactions,' Mounties said in a statement. Authorities want the public to be aware that the city doesn't use QR codes in this way and has an app through which people can pay for municipal parking. 'If you encounter a QR code claiming to link to a parking payment page, do not scan it and report it immediately,' Mounties said in the statement. The same scam prompted warnings from the City of Ottawa in August of 2024 and from Montreal's parking agency in June of 2025.
