Multiple charges as 27-year-old accused in crash that killed two B.C. teens

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 11 Jul, 2023 11:10 AM

Charges have been laid against a 27-year-old man accused of causing a crash last July that killed two Vancouver-area teenagers.

A statement from Metro Vancouver Transit Police says Cory Brown faces two counts of criminal negligence causing death, one count of driving while disqualified and one count of flight from police.

He remains in custody and is expected to return to court on July 19.

The statement says members of the transit police were returning to headquarters in New Westminster on July 26, 2022, when they attempted to pull over a person suspected of driving erratically.

Police say the suspect sped off and his vehicle collided in a Burnaby intersection with a car carrying an 18-year-old from Vancouver and a 17-year-old from Burnaby.

Police and bystanders tried unsuccessfully to save the two teens while the statement says the two people in the suspect's car ran away before they were picked up a short time later.
