Over a year after a tragic crash in Listowel, Ont., which resulted in two fatalities, an 18-year-old has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder.
Authorities aren’t naming the 18-year-old because they were underage at the time of the incident on Oct. 4, 2025, and their identity is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
Emergency responders arrived at a two-vehicle accident involving a passenger car and a pickup truck on Perth Line 86 at around 8:30 p. m.
A 72-year-old man and a 75-year-old woman from North Perth who were in the passenger vehicle tragically died at the scene.
The sole driver of the pickup truck was taken to a London hospital with injuries that weren’t life-threatening.
Perth County Ontario Provincial Police report that following an investigation, an 18-year-old from North Perth was arrested and charged.
“The accused was released from custody and is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Stratford at a later date,” police said.
