A 43-year-old man who crashed his pickup truck into an oncoming vehicle near Cornwall earlier this week is facing charges in connection with the collision that killed a North Bay woman.

Jeffrey Goulet, of Cornwall, is charged with careless driving.

The charges come after a southbound truck hit a car heading in the opposite direction on Wednesday while it tried to pass a farm vehicle on Highway 138.

Thirty-nine-year-old Shannon Carver, who was a passenger in the northbound car, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Five others were treated in hospital for non-life-threatening injuries, including two people in the pickup truck.

Goulet is scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 9 in Cornwall.
