BADDECK — RCMP have charged a 36-year-old man with dangerous driving causing death after investigating a collision that killed two people in Cape Breton last year.
A 45-year-old man and a 49-year-old woman, both from British Columbia, died Oct. 7, 2024, when their Hyundai Tucson collided with a Western Star tractor-trailer on Highway 105 just west of Baddeck, N.S.
The truck driver wasn't injured, though both vehicles were seriously damaged in the early evening crash.
A RCMP collision reconstructionist supported the investigation that led to the charges.
Investigators arrested a resident of Lower Truro, N.S., last week and he faces two charges of dangerous operation of a conveyance causing death.
The accused was released on conditions and is scheduled to appear in Wagmatcook provincial court on June 4.
