A suspected impaired driver from Mississauga facing charges in a deadly crash that took the life of a 15-year-old girl last week in Brampton has been identified.

It was determined that two vehicles were involved, and following the crash, one vehicle spun, mounting a sidewalk, striking and killing the victim, a 15-year-old girl from Brampton, who was walking in the area.

A second pedestrian was treated for minor injuries at the collision scene.

On July 12, Mandeep Singh, a 36-year-old man from Mississauga, was charged with failure or refusal to comply with demand – accident resulting in death (alcohol), dangerous operation causing death and operation while impaired causing death.

He’s expected to appear in court on July 26.
