Impaired Driving Causing Death Charges Laid Against B.C. Woman After Fatal Crash
Vanessa Lameiras faces three charges including impaired driving causing death after a 2024 crash involving alcohol and methamphetamines, police said following a nine-month investigation.
- Vanessa Lameiras, a 30-year-old woman from Oliver, has been charged with three offenses following a fatal collision last year on the stretch of Highway 97 near Road 21 in the South Okanagan.
- Police charged Lameiras following an extensive nine-month inquiry conducted by investigators into the collision between a Ford Explorer and a Toyota Echo that resulted in the death of the Toyota’s driver.
- The crash occurred near Road 21 just before 8 a.m., killing a 39-year-old man who was the sole occupant of the Toyota Echo.
- BC Highway Patrol confirmed the charges include dangerous operation and impaired operation causing death, with Lameiras first appearing in court on August 6.
- The case is before the BC Provincial Court with police withholding further details due to ongoing proceedings, while officials hope the legal process offers closure to the victim's family.
