A 21-year-old is facing four charges in connection with a crash in Chetwynd in April 2024 that killed two people.
The Fort St. John resident was charged Sept. 22, 2025 with two counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death and two counts of impaired operation of a motor vehicle causing death. However, BC Highway Patrol only announced the charges Friday (Jan. 9).
The accused is due back in court Jan. 27 in Dawson Creek.
A 19-year-old Dawson Creek man and a 15-year-old Chetwynd boy died at the scene when two vehicles collided on Highway 97 South on Wabi Hill near Chetwynd.
Chetwynd RCMP said at the time it was a head-on crash between a 2001 black Dodge 2500 pickup truck and a 2011 grey Ford F350 pickup.
