Hey there, time traveller!

A Winnipeg Police Service officer has been charged with driving offences, after a 2021 collision between a police vehicle and a civilian car.
At the time, police said the unmarked WPS vehicle was headed south on Main Street near College Avenue, when it struck another vehicle at about 7 p.m. Oct. 28.
A woman in her 20s (the driver of the second vehicle) was transported to hospital in stable condition with fractured vertebrae, the Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba said when it launched a probe into the incident.
Two WPS officers were treated in hospital and released, with one suspected to have suffered a broken arm.
After a 4 1/2-month investigation, IIU civilian director Zane Tessler said Tuesday there are reasonable grounds to believe offences occurred under the federal criminal code and the provincial Highway Traffic Act.
Const. Bradley Louden has been issued a May 16 provincial court summons for driving dangerously contrary to the criminal code and misusing emergency vehicle equipment contrary to the traffic act.
The IIU said it would not comment further, as the matter is now before the courts.
The watchdog is provincially mandated to probe all incidents involving on- or off-duty police that cause serious injury or death.
