MAPLE RIDGE, B.C. — A 17-year-old Maple Ridge, B.C., youth has been charged with dangerous driving causing death after a crash that claimed the life of his girlfriend.

A release from Ridge Meadows RCMP says charges follow an investigation of the May 10, 2015 crash on the Haney Bypass, east of Vancouver.

The teen was 16 at the time and was driving a Volkswagen that collided with an SUV before ramming a utility pole.

His 15-year-old girlfriend died and the young driver and two people in the SUV were hurt.

Cpl. Brenda Winpenny says RCMP will not comment on any other details regarding the crash on Mother's Day.

She says it's hoped the charge will offer the young girl's family some relief.
