An Antigonish Co. man who originally faced four charges following a fatal crash in Porter’s Lake is expected back in court Monday.
RCMP say the fatal two-car collision happened on Hwy. 107 in Jan. 2018.
They say the 49-year-old driver of one car died; two others were injured.
Police say their investigation determined the safety inspection on one of the vehicles had been improperly completed, and the person who inspected the vehicle was the subject of another incident involving an improper inspection earlier that month.
Chet Bernard Chisholm, 46, of Lakevale pleaded not guilty to criminal negligence causing death, two criminal negligence causing bodily harm counts and breach of trust during an election-and-plea hearing in May.
The Crown said there was not a realistic prospect of conviction on three of the charges, and brought them forward to offer no evidence in September; the judge dismissed those counts.
Chisholm is still scheduled to stand trial on the breach of trust charge in Antigonish Provincial Court.
