Oak Bay police had recommended in January that the driver who killed Steve Seekins be charged with dangerous driving causing death
Oak Bay’s police chief says police had recommended that the woman who struck a municipal worker with her SUV be charged with dangerous driving causing death, and were not given medical information the B.C. Prosecution Service cited in saying no charges would be laid.
Police forwarded the recommendation of dangerous-driving charges to Crown counsel in January, said Oak Bay Chief Julie Chanin. “Police can ask for information and we don’t always necessarily get that, or at the time when we ask for it, it may not be available,” she said.Chanin said Saanich police, on behalf of Oak Bay police, have forwarded a report to RoadSafetyBC. requesting a medical review of the woman’s driver’s licence.
