A 19-year-old man has been arrested and charged after a stolen vehicle crash at the intersection of Leila Avenue and McGregor Street left one woman dead and another with life-threatening injuries.
Officers were in the area shortly after 7 a.m. on Sunday when they observed a 2022 Honda CR-V travelling northbound on McGregor Street at a high rate of speed. The vehicle ran a red light and collided with a 2023 Kia Seltos, causing the CR-V to become airborne, strike a traffic light standard, roll over and collide with a tree, resulting in catastrophic damage to both vehicles.
Officers provided emergency medical care to those involved before ambulance crews arrived.
Four occupants were in the CR-V at the time of the collision. A 20-year-old woman and a 22-year-old woman were transported to hospital in critical condition; the 20-year-old later died of her injuries, while the 22-year-old remains in hospital with life-threatening injuries. A 20-year-old man was taken to hospital in stable condition.
The lone occupant of the Seltos, a 43-year-old man, was transported to hospital in stable condition and treated for minor injuries.
Dorian Beardy, 19, was arrested at the scene and taken to hospital in stable condition, where he was treated for minor injuries. Police say speed and impairment were major contributing factors in the collision.
Beardy has been charged with multiple offences, including impaired driving, and remains in custody.
Police continue to investigate and say additional charges are anticipated to be filed.
