A teenager from St. Catharines has been charged in connection with a deadly crash on Highway 406 last December.
According to police, after an “extensive investigation” that included members from Niagara OPP and the OPP Highway Safety Division Traffic Support Unit, the 19-year-old girl was arrested and faced charges for criminal driving offenses related to the incident on Dec. 3.
The young driver was heading southbound on the highway near Third Avenue when she lost control of her vehicle, causing it to roll into the center ditch.
An 18-year-old girl from Thorold, who was in the back seat, was ejected and sadly died at the scene due to her injuries.
The front seat passenger, a 20-year-old woman from Welland, along with the driver, were taken to local hospitals but only suffered minor injuries.
The driver is facing charges for dangerous operation causing death and dangerous operation causing bodily harm.
She has been released from custody and is set to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in St. Catharines on Oct. 19.
