Investigation concludes into Fredericton crash that killed two teens, young adult
Fredericton police have concluded an investigation into a triple fatality on Douglas Avenue last May. The incident occurred in the early hours of May 5, 2024, when a speeding car struck a tree and landed on another vehicle. Two males aged 22 and 17 and a female, aged 14, died at the scene. The two other passengers, a 15-year-old male and 14-year-old female, were brought to hospital with critical and minor injuries. The four occupants of the other vehicle sustained minor injuries.

Driver charged twice this weekend for driving while suspended on eastern Ontario highways
Ontario Provincial Police say this driver was charged on Friday in Russell Township and Sunday in Ottawa for driving while suspended. (OPP/X) A North Dundas Township man is facing several charges, including two counts of driving while suspended, after being stopped twice in three days on eastern Ontario roads. Ontario Provincial Police said an officer stopped a vehicle on Notre Dame Street in Russell Township on Friday after the Automated Licence Plate Recognition camera flagged a licence plate that should not be in use. 'The driver was arrested and charged for driving while suspended under the Criminal Code, as well as for having an unauthorized plate and having open cannabis in the vehicle,' the OPP said in a media release. At approximately 10:30 a.m. Sunday, an officer stopped a driver for using a handheld device while driving on Hwy. 417 in Ottawa. 'It was learned that the driver has a suspended licence and had actually been arrested Friday on Notre Dame Street in Russell Township and was charged then,' the OPP said. 'In both cases, the individual had been driving borrowed vehicles, both of which were impounded.' The driver is facing two counts of operation while prohibited under the Criminal Code, seven counts of driving while under suspension, and one count each of distracted driving, using a plate not authorized for a vehicle and driving with cannabis in open packaging. The driver is scheduled to appear in court on Monday. Police say the borrowed vehicle stopped on Friday will be impounded for 45 days, while the vehicle stopped on Sunday will be impounded for 90 days.
