At a preliminary inquiry, the accused bus driver was charged with dangerous driving causing death and failing to stop after an accident with intent to escape civil or criminal liability, following the death of a 14-year-old passenger struck by his bus at the intersection of Finch Avenue East and Neilson Road in Toronto on December 19, 2014.
The Crown sought committal to trial.
The court found that the evidence did not establish a marked departure from the standard of care required for dangerous driving, and there was no evidence the accused was aware of the accident.
The accused was discharged and not committed to trial.
