Charges against a man accused in a fatal drunk driving crash have been upgraded.

 

Francis Pesa, 20, died five days after his car was struck head-on by a truck on New Year’s Day on Metis Trail northeast.

 

A 36-year-old man is now charged with impaired driving causing death and causing death with a blood alcohol of more than 0.08, or 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood.
