A 19-year-old international student at Carleton University is facing criminal charges in relation to a collision on Merivale Road Monday night that killed two people.
Two cars travelling in different directions on Merivale Road approaching Viewmount Drive collided around 11:40 p.m. Monday.
Two occupants of one car — the driver, a 49-year-old woman, and the passenger, a 54-year-old man — were taken to hospital, where they later succumbed to their injuries and were pronounced dead, police said.
The driver of the other vehicle, a 19-year-old man, was checked by paramedics but did not go to hospital.
On Thursday police charged 19-year-old Sishun Liang, a Carleton University student from China, with two counts of criminal negligence causing death, and one count each of stunt driving and careless driving.
He was released under a number of court-ordered conditions, including that he surrender both his passport and his driver's licence to police and have no contact with four people who are all Crown witnesses.
