A 19-year-old is facing charges in connection to a collision that killed a mother who was out in Guelph last week.
According to an update from police, a man from northern Ontario was charged with careless driving causing death and two counts of careless driving causing bodily harm, after a pick-up truck hit a family of three crossing an intersection.
It happened just after 5:00 p.m. on Sept. 19 at the intersection of Paisley Road and Alma Street North. Police said that a Guelph couple were walking with their 3-year-old daughter when they were struck by the truck in the crosswalk.
The three people were sent to hospital where the 38-year-old mother died. Her 38-year-old husband was treated for minor injuries and released. Their daughter was airlifted to a Hamilton trauma centre as a precaution and was released the same night.
The accused remained at the scene. He is expected to appear in court on Dec. 17.
