A Brampton man has been charged in connection with a fatal crash in Burlington last winter, while two other people who were traveling in the vehicle now face drug and firearms-related charges.

A single-vehicle rollover occurred in the westbound lanes of the Queen Elizabeth Way at Brant Street just before 4 a.m. on January 29.

The Special Investigation Unit previously said the vehicle was initially stopped by police after being speeded at 150 kilometers per hour.

It came to a stop just west of the Guelph line, but then accelerated at a high rate of speed before officers had a chance to approach the vehicle on foot, the SIU said.

The vehicle, a Dodge pickup truck, was then involved in a single-vehicle crash a short time later.

A 25-year-old passenger died from his injuries sustained in the collision.

A 45-year-old man and a 24-year-old female passenger were also seriously injured.

The driver, for his part, was unhurt.

Police say officers later found a quantity of fentanyl and cocaine at the scene, as well as a firearm.

In a press release Posted Monday, Halton Regional Police announced that a suspect identified as Nitish Oberoi, a 34-year-old Brampton resident, has now been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death in connection with the reversal as well as two drug-related charges.

Police also charged two other people with drug and firearms trafficking, following a separate smuggling investigation.

The SIU had previously ended its separate investigation in April.
