On November 33, 2013 at approximately 6:45 pm, Richmond RCMP responded to a 2 vehicle crash at the intersection of No. 4 Rd and Westminster Hwy.

Richmond resident Ghalib Walji has been charged with one count of Dangerous Operation with a Motor Vehicle Causing Death after crashing his Acura Vigor in November 2013 and killing a 76 year-old man.

Richmond RCMP believe speed was a factor, according to Cpl. Dennis Hwang.

It's believed Walji was speeding through the intersection of No. 4 Road and Westminster Highway on Nov. 23 when he struck the other man's car.

"After an exhaustive investigation by the Richmond RCMP Road Safety Unit with assistance of the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service (ICARS), a charge has been laid," noted Hwang.

“We hope this news will bring some closure to the victim’s family and help them to move forward. We are very thankful for all the cooperation we received from the public during this investigation,” he added.

The victim's name has been withheld for the family's respect.
