THE alleged driver in a rollover crash that seriously injured a female passenger in June 2020 has been arrested in Laval, Quebec, and transported back to B.C. to face charges.

On June 5, 2020 at 1 a.m., Burnaby RCMP responded to a report that a Dodge Durango had rolled over at Gilmore Avenue and Halifax Street in Burnaby.

The alleged driver left the scene, leaving his female passenger with severe injuries.

Burnaby RCMP Criminal Collision Investigation Team (CCIT) took conduct of the investigation and several charges were approved in May 2021, but the suspect had left the province. A Canada-wide warrant was issued for his arrest.

With the assistance of Laval Police, 33-year-old Quebec resident, Moussa Daoui, was arrested and returned to B.C. on January 27.

Daoui faces the following charges:

* Fail to stop after an accident causing bodily harm

* Impaired operation causing bodily harm (two counts)

* Criminal negligence causing bodily harm

“Despite the suspect leaving the province while under investigation for this crash, our investigators never gave up on ensuring he would face these charges in a B.C. courtroom,” said Cpl. John Hargreaves with Burnaby RCMP’s Criminal Collision Investigation Team (CCIT). “We are also grateful to our partners at Laval Police (Service du police de Laval) for their assistance in this file.”
