The Major Collision Bureau has concluded its investigation into the circumstances surrounding a collision that left 31 year-old Erica Carmichael dead. As a result of the investigation, charges against the driver have been laid.

On Wednesday, December 1, 2010, at approximately 5:37 p.m., Ms. Carmichael was travelling on foot and attempted to cross the intersection of Torbram Road and Walker Drive. She was crossing from the south-east corner of the intersection to the north-east corner.
