There was a case in Ottawa this summer where a car turned off the road and into a MUT. He killed one person and injured another. Criminal charges were laid only last week.

Given the driver was arrested on the spot, it seems likely there is significant cause...i.e., the driver is stumbling drunk or something.
And yet , EVEN THEN...the paper refuses to give any agency to the driver, the pedestrians "were struck" and "struck by a vehicle"..."driver arrested totally unrelated right".
I remember that one. Yes, it is rare that charges are laid so quickly. I honestly have no idea what police are waiting for. There is being thorough, and then there is doing nothing for six months. We are clearly beyond thorough.
