A man already charged with impaired driving causing death has again been charged with impaired driving.
Twenty-year-old Riley White of St. Stephen’s was first charged in connection with a crash that killed his 18-year-old female passenger.
It happened in Portugal Cove South on August 18th, 2024.
The victim was thrown from the vehicle and later died in hospital, while White was saved from the burning wreck by witnesses.
Months later he was charged with being impaired, impaired causing death, and crossing a solid line.
White was released on strict conditions, but in late February he was again arrested for impaired driving.
There was a bail hearing, and White was again released on conditions.
He’s due back in court in June on the most recent charges.
The more serious case will be the subject of a three-day preliminary inquiry in September.
