A 23-year-old person has been charged in a crash in Abbotsford, B.C., almost exactly a year ago that involved two small children and caused what police called “life-altering injuries.”

On Thursday, police said Anureet Dosanjh of Surrey has been charged with six counts of impaired operation of a vehicle causing bodily harm and three counts of dangerous operation causing bodily harm in the May 24, 2021, collision.

That day, police said a Honda Civic heading west on North Parallel Road “at a high rate of speed” veered into the oncoming lanes and crashed head-on with a Volkswagen Jetta.
