Winnipeg, MB – A 52-year-old man has been charged nearly two years after a fatal vehicle-pedestrian collision that claimed the life of an 18-year-old in Winnipeg, police announced this week.
According to the Winnipeg Police Service, the Traffic Collision Investigation Section continued reviewing evidence from the January 13, 2024 crash at Notre Dame Avenue and Cecil Street. Investigators say the victim, an 18-year-old male, was transported to hospital in critical condition and later pronounced deceased.
Following an extensive collision analysis, police submitted findings to the Provincial Crown’s office, which approved a charge under the Highway Traffic Act. On October 7, 2025, the driver — a 52-year-old man — was arrested and charged with Drive Carelessly – Cause Death. He has been released on an appearance notice pending a future court date.
Police previously stated that the pedestrian had entered the roadway in front of a southbound vehicle before being struck. The driver reportedly remained at the scene, called emergency services, and cooperated with officers.
The victim’s identity was not released, but investigators confirmed he was an 18-year-old man from Winnipeg. Notifications to the family have been made, police said.
