An Ontario truck driver accused of killing a Manitoba mother and her eight-year-old daughter after running a stop sign has been granted bail — despite previously fleeing the country to avoid prosecution.
Navjeet Singh was arrested at Toronto’s Pearson Airport nine months after leaving Canada following the crash. Police say he was aware of the charges when he left.

For a man who already fled once, the court’s decision raises serious questions about how Canada defines a “flight risk.”
