A 61-year-old Richmond woman passed away after a head-on collision in the Massey Tunnel in 2020.

A man has been charged in connection with a fatal crash in the George Massey Tunnel in 2020.

Sundeep Singh Mann will be making his way through the Richmond Provincial Court to face six charges related to dangerous driving, including impaired operation and dangerous operation causing death and bodily harm.

The Richmond News previously reported that a Richmond woman, 61, had died after colliding head-on with a southbound vehicle just after midnight on Sept. 2, 2020.

The southbound vehicle had crossed the centre line inside the tunnel and collided with a northbound vehicle driven by the woman.

The passenger in the woman's vehicle, as well as the driver of the southbound vehicle, were taken to hospital with serious injuries.

Police suggested at the time that alcohol "may be a factor" though other possibilities were being considered as well.

Mann is scheduled to appear before the judicial case manager at Richmond Provincial Court on Feb. 1, 2023 to fix a date for his next appearance.
