A Thunder Bay-area provincial police officer will stand trial in connection with the death of an 18-year-old woman after a 2008 motor vehicle collision.
Sgt. Darryl Storey was committed to Superior Court on charges of criminal negligence causing death and dangerous driving causing death after a four-day preliminary hearing concluded Thursday.
His trial is to begin June 1. Storey is not in custody.
Storey‘s charges stem from a collision between an unmarked OPP cruiser and a sedan on the morning of Dec. 3, 2008, at the intersection of Highway 11/17 and Twin City Crossroads.
The collision resulted in the death of Jasmine Marie Veneruzzo.
Storey, a 25-year veteran of the OPP, was on duty at the time, and charges were laid following a probe by the province‘s Special Investigations Unit.
A preliminary inquiry is a hearing where a judge determines whether there is enough evidence to send a matter to trial.
On Monday, the hearing‘s first day, a publication ban on all evidence presented during the hearing was put in place.
