A Saskatoon teen accused of driving a car involved in a high-speed crash that killed a 16-year-old last spring has pleaded guilty to his charges.
The teen, whose name can’t be published under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing death and one count of dangerous driving causing bodily harm at Saskatoon Provincial Court on Wednesday.
Early in the morning on April 14, police responded to a single-vehicle collision in the 4200 Block of Taylor Street East where 16-year-old Shahryar Amir was pronounced dead at the scene.
