FRASER VALLEY (NEWS1130) – A Mountie has been charged with dangerous driving causing death and dangerous driving causing bodily harm in connection with a deadly crash in Agassiz on July 12, 2011.
    
Cst. Jordan Braid was driving a marked cruiser and believed to be on route to a domestic dispute when he collided with a Ford Mustang on Highway 7 and Bodnar Road just after 11 p.m.

It’s alleged he crossed the centre line and didn’t use his emergency lights or siren while responding to the call. Evidence suggests his cruiser was going 20 km/hr over the speed limit.
    
Steve Genberg, 20, was driving the Mustang. He eventually died. His 19-year-old passenger, Jonathan Dauphney, was also seriously hurt. A family member has told News1130 Dauphney is recovering and still suffers from headaches.
    
Neil MacKenzie with Crown counsel comments on why it has taken so long for the Mountie to be charged.

“Any fatal collision can involve a fairly detailed investigation by the police and that in turn requires a fairly careful analysis by crown counsel.”
    
Braid is still on desk duty and also faces a code of conduct probe. He will be making his first court appearance on June 26 in Chilliwack.

Meanwhile, a trust fund has been set up for Genberg’s daughter, Makaila, who was born this past January.
