Huronia West OPP have laid charges regarding a fatal crash in Clearview Township back in September.
Police responded to a report of a two-vehicle collision at 3-4 Sideroad Sunnidale and Concession Road 9 Sunnidale on September 23 just before 8:00 a.m.
"A 31-year-old female passenger from the Township of Clearview was pronounced deceased," OPP wrote in a release on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, December 19, a 33-year-old from Adjala-Tosorontio Township was arrested and charged with:
