Police have laid charges in relation to a collision earlier this year in Oro-Medonte that killed a Tay Township woman.

The crash killed Tay Township's Irene Youngblut (nee Ciesielski), 66.

On Wednesday, police arrested Leo Michel, 51, of Sudbury, who has been charged with impaired driving causing death, dangerous driving causing death, and driving a motor vehicle with cannabis readily available.

Michel was held in custody and was set to appear Thursday in Orillia court.
