LONDON, Ont. - An additional charge of criminal negligence causing death has been laid in connection with a car crash at a Costco store in London, Ont., that resulted in the death of a young girl and days later, her newborn sister.
The incident happened on July 25, when Danah McKinnon-Bozek, who was eight months pregnant, and her two young daughters were hit by a car that reversed into the front entrance of the store.
Addison Hall, 6, was killed, while her mother and three-year-old sister Miah Bozek were injured.
Another daughter, Rhiannon Bozek, was delivered by emergency C-section. The newborn died Aug. 1.
Police announced on Aug. 8 that Ruth Burger, 65, of London, had been charged with two counts of criminal negligence causing bodily harm and one count of criminal negligence causing death.
At the time, police said they had no legal grounds for a charge in connection with the newborn's death.
But after additional consultation with the local Crown attorney’s office, police say Burger is now also charged with one count of criminal negligence causing death related to the infant's death.
Burger's next scheduled court date is Oct. 21.
