A second pedestrian was treated for minor injuries at the collision scene.
On July 12, Mandeep Singh, a 36-year-old man from Mississauga, was charged with failure or refusal to comply with demand – accident resulting in death (alcohol), dangerous operation causing death and operation while impaired causing death.
He’s expected to appear in court on July 26.
