The man police allege was behind the wheel of an SUV that struck and killed a 22-year-old pedestrian near Oliver, B.C., last year has been arrested in Quebec.
Dominic Kavanagh Latreille has been charged with failing to remain at the scene of a collision in connection to the June 15, 2025, incident on Highway 97 near Cassini Winery south of Oliver.
The B.C. Prosecution Service approved the charge in June of this year, and Kavanagh Latreille was arrested in Drummondville, Que., earlier this month, B.C. Highway Patrol said in a news release Thursday.
He appeared in court on Oct. 15 and was remanded in custody. B.C. sheriffs have since transported him back to British Columbia, police said.
The BCHP thanked RCMP’s “C” Division and the Sûreté du Québec for “strong collaboration” that led to Kavanagh Latreille’s arrest.
It also thanked members of the public, “who provided valuable assistance and information” during the hit-and-run investigation.
“We continue to encourage anyone who may have additional information about this collision to contact B.C. Highway Patrol – Keremeos at 250-499-2250 and quote file (2100) 2025-1881,” the BCHP release concludes.
