A man has been charged in connection to a crash on the Nanaimo Parkway that killed a woman last summer.
Nanaimo RCMP say a warrant was issued for the arrest of 47-year-old Samuel Taylor on June 16 and he was taken into custody in Nanaimo the next day.
He is facing charges of dangerous driving causing death and impaired driving causing death connected to the collision on Aug. 10 last year.
“The victim’s family were advised of Taylor’s arrest. They also asked and consented that the name of their deceased family member be released to the public. Joy Pecknold died in the crash, she was 42-years old,” according to a news release from Nanaimo RCMP.
Police say Taylor was released from custody and will make his first court appearance on June 24.
