Charge laid in collision that killed 14-year-old cyclist in Ontario [Video]

A charge has been laid after a collision in Ontario last year that left a 14-year-old cyclist dead.

Ontario Provincial Police announced the charge Wednesday in connection with the Aug. 30 incident in South Stormont Township, west of Cornwall.

Police said a 14-year-old girl was riding a bike eastbound on the paved, westbound shoulder of County Road 2 when she was hit by a westbound car.

Emergency crews attempted life-saving measures, but she died at the scene.

Police said their investigation is now complete and 46-year-old Karen Brennan of Ingleside has been charged with careless driving causing death under the Highway Traffic Act.

Brennan is scheduled to appear in court next month.
