Charges have been laid against a 19-year-old man involved in a fatal collision that occurred last spring, in Newton.

Surrey RCMP say 19-year-old Dilpreet Sandhu faces eight charges in the deadly crash that happened last spring.

Police say on May 18, 2019 shortly after midnight, Surrey RCMP responded to a collision involving a single vehicle, a Jeep, at the intersection of 122 Street and 78 Avenue.

Four people inside the Jeep were hurt when it was totalled, RCMP say.

One of those injured, 19-year-old Brandon Bassi, later succumbed to his injuries and another person sustained life threatening injuries.

Bassi was part of Simon Fraser University’s men’s soccer program and a Vancouver Whitecaps prospect.

He began his career playing with the North Delta Soccer Association before joining Coastal Football Club.

When he was 15, Bassi spent a season playing with the Vancouver Whitecaps’ residency program, and represented B.C. on the national stage.
