A Vancouver man accused in the dangerous driving deaths of two University of British Columbia students has pleaded guilty.

The B-C Prosecution Service says 23-year-old Tim Goerner pleaded guilty to two counts of dangerous driving causing death earlier this month.

The service says a sentencing hearing will be held for Goerner on November 6th.

Eighteen-year-olds Evan Smith and Emily Selwood were struck and killed by a vehicle that veered onto a sidewalk near the university's Point Grey campus early the morning of September 26th, 2021.
