The driver of the truck that collided with a car that killed three occupants last month in Augusta Township will be charged with criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily injury.
The 25-year-old man was arrested Wednesday morning by the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), and was later released on bail, following a bail hearing.
The accident that destroyed a family in Laval, Quebec, occurred April 18 on Highway 401, in Augusta Township, in Eastern Ontario.
The crash happened just east of Brockville, about 100 kilometers south of Ottawa while Anik Legault, his twin brother Erik Legault, his two children Émerik Giroux, 7, Maélie Giroux, 3, as well well that his mother Chantal Dendooven-Legault, 68, was back from a trip to Toronto.
Following the collision, the vehicle driven by Anik Legault rolled several times. Her children and her mother, who were in the background, did not survive. Two more people were taken to the hospital.
The investigation of POP continues, and anyone who witnessed the accident is urged to approach the authorities.
