A 38-year-old St. Catharines resident has been charged with dangerous driving causing death following a fatal pedestrian collision in Stratford earlier this year. Stratford police said the charge stems from an incident on Aug. 16, 2026, when officers responded shortly after 11 a.m. to a report of a pedestrian being struck by a vehicle. The pedestrian, identified as an 86-year-old Stratford resident, died from injuries sustained in the collision. Police said their investigation has now concluded, resulting in the driver involved being charged with the Criminal Code offence of dangerous driving causing death. The accused turned himself in to police and was arrested on Oct. 11. He was later released from custody on an undertaking and is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 9. Police have not released any additional details about the circumstances surrounding the collision.
