The car then crashed into an oncoming Honda, driven by Satchwill.

The passengers of the Dodge, a 19-year-old man and a 16-year-old girl, were injured in the crash.

Following a lengthy investigation, police announced on Wednesday that the driver of the Dodge, Allan Waller-Guest of London, is charged with nine offences including impaired operation of a motor vehicle causing death, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle cause death, and driving while ability impaired causing bodily harm.
