A St. Catharines, Ont., woman is facing charges in connection with a collision that resulted in the death of a migrant worker on Seventh Street Louth in mid-June.
Niagara police say the offences are tied with a traffic incident involving three farm workers from Mexico returning to a temporary residence following a Port Dalhousie excursion.

The farm said the three friends were walking their bicycles back from Port Dalhousie via Seventh Street Louth after one of the riders got a flat tire.
Investigators say a Ford Edge collided with the trio between South Service Road and Second Avenue Louth around 6:30 p.m. on June 14.
Fermin Santo Sanchez, 35, was taken by paramedics to a local hospital and later pronounced dead.
His two colleagues, aged 36 and 42, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and have since been released from hospital.
The 51-year-old driver is facing three charges including careless driving causing death.
The accused is expected in court on Sept. 13.
