A 19-year-old man had been charged with criminal negligence causing death and stunt driving after a crash on Merivale Road Monday that killed an Ottawa couple.
The victims, Brian and Dora Aspelund, were driving on Merivale Road between Colonnade Road and Viewmount Drive around 11:42 p.m. when their car was hit. Paramedics found the couple with critical injuries and in cardiac arrest. They launched “aggressive” efforts to save their lives, but both succumbed to their injuries in hospital.
The couple was devoted to their family, said Pina La Pegna, a former colleague of Brian Aspelund, 54, when he worked as a video editor at CJOH in the 1990s.
“He was a really gentle man, very easy-going, very friendly,” said La Pegna.
Brian Aspelund worked at Passport Canada, while his wife, 49, was at nurse at the The Ottawa Hospital General campus, she said.
The Aspelunds leave two children. Their oldest daughter is in her last year of high school, while the son is younger.
Sishun Liang of Ottawa faces two counts of criminal negligence causing death, as well as charges of careless driving and stunt driving. He was to appear in court Thursday.
Police said a 19-year-old man who was driving the second vehicle involved in the crash was assessed by paramedics but refused to be taken to the hospital.
