COQUITLAM, B.C. — A 20-year-old resident of Port Coquitlam, B.C., has been charged following a fatal crash that killed three people, including two young girls, on a busy Vancouver-area highway last year.
A news release from Coquitlam RCMP says the B.C. Prosecution Service has laid one count of driving without due care and attention against Hamed Darbarpar.
The charge is in addition to a similar count facing 31-year-old Adam Goulding of Surrey.
Police say neither man is under arrest and both will appear in court at a later date.

The nine-year-old and three-year-old cousins were in one vehicle and a 30-year-old woman was in another on April 28, 2017 when a total of three cars collided on the Lougheed Highway as one driver tried to pass another.
In a release issued last week after charges were laid against Goulding, Coquitlam RCMP said they conducted an extensive investigation, gathered "every possible piece of evidence," and hoped it would provide closure for the victims' families.
