All you need to do is read the article for what the driver is charged.
In the case of this thread, the driver was charged because of DUI.
"...with his vehicle last year while intoxicated. "
In another thread, the authorities are looking for the driver who is hit-and-run.
"..it was unclear whether the driver was aware of the incident, and that police are working to track down the driver."

And I can pull out another case that happened near Humboldt, Saskatchewan in which the driver was immediately arrested and charged with dangerous driving and that was because the victims were in a bus.
