Cory Robert Brown, 27, has been charged with criminal negligence causing death, flight from police and driving while prohibited in a crash that killed Burnaby's Yabsrat Habtamu Ytatek, 17, and Vancouver's Samir Olyad Suleiman Ali, 18, last July.
A 27-year-old man has been charged in connection with a crash that killed two young men on the Burnaby-New Westminster border last summer.
Ytatek, a Burnaby resident, had come to Canada with his family as a refugee via Somalia eight years earlier.Ytatek and Ali had been coming home from a soccer practice in New Westminster at about 11 p.m. on July 26, 2022, when the Toyota Yaris they were in collided with a Nissan Altima on 10th Avenue and Sixth Street, according to a police news release at the time.
The driver and passenger of the Altima had fled on foot, according to police, but were quickly located and arrested.“We all are heartbroken,” a neighbour and close friend of the Ali family said at a candlelight vigil for the young men last summer.He was charged on July 4 with two counts of criminal negligence causing death, flight from police and driving while disqualified under the criminal code.
