A 33-year-old man has been charged with dangerous driving causing death more than seven months after a 49-year-old woman was killed in a collision while waiting at a bus stop on Abinojii Mikanah last fall.
Omotayo Samuel-Pepple was hit by a vehicle while she waited for a bus near the corner of Abinojii Mikanah and St. Mary’s Road on around 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 16, 2025, Winnipeg police said in a news release at the time.Â
The vehicle had been travelling eastbound when it veered onto the shoulder and struck her.Â
Samuel-Pepple was transported to hospital in critical condition and died of her injuries two days later, police said.Â
Samuel-Pepple’s family previously told CBC News that the mother of three was studying human resource management at the University of Manitoba.Â
On April 21 — more than seven months after the incident — traffic division investigators arrested a 33-year-old man in connection with the fatal collision, Winnipeg police said in a Sunday news release.Â
He has been charged with dangerous driving causing death and driving while disqualified, police said. He was released on an undertaking.
