Speeding racers push woman off road in fatal N.L. crash: RCMP
Two young men are in custody in central Newfoundland after an elderly woman was killed when her car was forced from a highway by racing drivers.
The woman, 71, was found in a partially submerged car by the Reach Run Causeway, near Boyd's Cove. RCMP said two racing drivers forced her vehicle into the water.
Ryan Selby Watkins, 20, of Summerford and Richard William Glibbery, also 20, of Boyd's Cove have been charged with criminal negligence causing death, dangerous driving and failure to remain at the scene.
Watkins and Glibbery, who were arrested on Saturday, appeared briefly in provincial court in Gander on Sunday. They were remanded in custody and are expected to make another court appearance on Monday.
Watkins has also been charged with breaching a court order.
An autopsy is planned to determine the exact cause of death of the woman, a Boyd's Cove resident.
The RCMP said its investigation is continuing.
