The charge stems from an incident in September 2015 at the intersection of Highway 97 and Green Mountain Road in Penticton where Stewart’s truck struck and killed five-year-old James Christian McIntosh. The youngster was pushing his bicycle through a crosswalk when the impact occurred.
Stewart was off-duty and driving his personal vehicle at the time of the incident.
Court documents show that he intends to plead guilty on January 23, 2017.
