Police say a young man has been convicted of killing one teenager and injuring another in a south Vancouver crash three years ago.
The Vancouver Police Department (VPD) says it responded to the scene of a roll-over crash near Fraser Street and East 55th Avenue on the night of Oct. 30, 2021.
Officers discovered one person dead at the crash, and two others there were injured.
“Vinay Aujla, 19, was pronounced dead at hospital. Two other men, aged 18 and 19, suffered serious injuries and were treated in hospital,” police said.
The suspect, who was a young offender at the time, has now pleaded guilty to one count of manslaughter and one count of assault causing bodily harm at 19 years old.
On Friday, Nov. 1, police say he was sentenced to a nine-month custody and supervision order, followed by a 15-month probation order.
