A Norfolk County man has been charged in relation to a fatal collision that killed a husband and wife just southeast of Tillsonburg last year.

Norfolk OPP made the announcement Thursday that the 23 year old had been arrested and charged with two counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death.

Police say that a pick up truck collided with an SUV on McDowell Road West in North Walsingham. It was determined that the SUV was attempting to turn left into the driveway of the home when it was struck by the pick up that was trying to pass.

The driver of the SUV was pronounced dead on scene and the passenger was taken to hospital where they later succumbed to their injuries.

The accused will appear in court at a later date.
