Mounties in Squamish say a man has been charged in a 2022 hit and run that left one woman dead and another severely injured. 

The crash happened September 2nd, 2022, when the driver of a pickup truck lost control navigating a corner and the vehicle flipped over a sidewalk and landed on a bus stop, pinning two women who were sitting there.
