A man accused of critically injuring a teenager in a stolen car crash has entered a not guilty plea.
Alfred Flamond faces three charges, including fleeing from police and criminal endangerment.
Prosecutors say the 34-year-old stole a vehicle on Jan. 9, 2026, in Columbia Falls.
When police tried to stop him, Flamond fled and crashed into 16-year-old Hazel Alexander's car.
The teen was left in critical condition and had to be flown to a Seattle hospital for treatment.
Flamond's pre-trial conference is set for May 4, 2026, with a trial slated to begin on June 15, 2026.
