Vancouver police responded to the situation quickly.

A 30-year-old man is facing two charges in a fatal 2021 accident that claimed the life of a 23-month-old girl.

On July 6 last year, a black Ford Escape collided with a black McLaren sports car at the intersection of Smithe and Hornby streets. The collision sent the SUV onto a nearby sidewalk where it hit a man carrying his toddler.

"The child died and the father was taken to hospital with life-altering injuries," says the Vancouver Police Department in a press release.

Now, charges have been laid in the case.

Seyed Moshfeghi Zadeh has been charged with one count of dangerous operation of a conveyance causing death and one count of dangerous operation of a conveyance causing bodily harm.

Police confirm Zadeh was driving the Escape. At the time of the accident, they arrested him.
