A Winnipeg woman has been charged in connection with a fatal collision in Transcona this past May that claimed the life of 24-year-old Jordyn Reimer.
Laurie Lynn Goodman, 57, had a first court appearance Tuesday after being charged with one count of obstruction of justice and two counts of accessory after the fact.
CTV News Winnipeg has confirmed through sources she’s the mother of 29-year-old Tyler Scott Goodman who was charged in May with dangerous driving causing death, impaired driving causing death, and failing to stop at the scene of an accident involving death.
Winnipeg police said the charges against Laurie Goodman are in relation to allegations untruthful or misleading statements were provided to officers during their investigation.
None of the charges against Laurie or Tyler Goodman have been tested in court and both are presumed innocent.
Doug Reimer, Jordyn’s father, told reporters outside court Tuesday he has mixed feelings about the charges.
“We’re relieved. We’re happy she was charged,” Reimer said, adding the nature of the allegations are concerning to his family.
