A woman from Winnipeg has been charged with careless driving causing the death of one of her children.
Emergency responders took a one-year-old, a four-year-old and a five-year-old to hospital after a two-vehicle crash on the city’s southern outskirts in June 2019.
The eldest was in critical condition and died of her injuries.
Two of the children were in child restraint seats, but the five-year-old was not.
