A Brampton teenager is facing charges in a crash that killed a fellow teen last year.

The teen was driving south on Mcvean Drive, just north of DaVinci Avenue, at about 11:15 p.m. on Nov. 4 when his car smashed into two trees, Peel Region police said.

Jaipartap Sidhu, a 17-year-old passenger in the vehicle, died at the scene.

The driver was taken to hospital for non-life threatening injuries. On Friday, he was charged with criminal negligence causing death and operation while impaired causing death.

The teen cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, and police did not say how he was related to the victim.
