WINNIPEG – A Winnipeg man is accused of deliberately running down and killing another man in a hit-and-run collision in October.
Terrence Jack McKay, 24, was charged Monday with deliberately running over a man who had gotten out of an Infiniti G35 after a crash at about 2:40 a.m. on Oct. 26.
The initial collision between two vehicles in the Marbury Road and Mapleglen Drive area led to a dispute between the occupants, possibly over the way they were driving, police said in a news release Tuesday morning.
A 31-year-old man got out of the black Infiniti to talk to the driver of the other vehicle involved in the crash. The second vehicle was driven straight at the 31-year-old, who was standing on the road, and hit him at high speed, police said.
The 31-year-old was taken to hospital in critical condition and died there.
McKay was identified as a suspect but police couldn’t find him until Monday, when he was arrested at a home in the North End just before 4 a.m.
McKay is charged with second-degree murder, criminal negligence causing death, failing to stop at the scene of an accident involving death and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death. He’s being held in custody.
