A 95-year-old man is facing charges after a collision last month resulted in the death of a 72-year-old woman in Guelph.
On Sept. 26, police said a Chevrolet sedan that left the parking lot of a retail store on Eramosa Road near Stevenson Street North, struck two pedestrians who were walking towards the store.
Police said one of the pedestrians died at the scene while a 74-year-old man sustained minor injuries and was transported to Guelph General Hospital.
The driver of the sedan remained at the scene and was cooperative, according to police.
The Guelph-Eramosa Township man was charged with careless driving causing death.
