REGINA — Saskatchewan’s Crown-owned insurance company says it has reached a settlement with two bars that served an intoxicated woman who later killed a family of four in a traffic crash. Catherine McKay pleaded guilty to four counts of impaired driving causing death in the 2016 collision that killed Jordan, Chanda, Kamryn and Miguire Van de Vorst. Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) says the terms of the out-of-court settlements with the Industrial Kitchen and Lounge Corporation, and MCDE Holdings Ltd., which operated the Crackers Licensed Cocktail & Dining Room, will not be disclosed. The settlements will reimburse SGI for some of the money it has paid out in the case. “Information relayed in McKay’s criminal proceedings revealed she had been served alcohol at both establishments, and was observed by staff to be highly intoxicated,” SGI said in a release Wednesday.
