A 15-year-old boy is facing multiple charges in relation to a fatal crash that killed a 16-year-old boy in April.

Early in the morning on April 14, police responded to a single-vehicle collision in the 4200 Block of Taylor Street East where 16-year-old Shahryar Amir was pronounced dead at the scene.

The vehicle, a 2008 Honda Civic, was travelling down Taylor Street at a high rate of speed when the driver lost control, police said.

Shahryar Amir was a passenger in the vehicle that crashed into a pole and flipped over on a stretch of Taylor Street East.

The crash sent two other occupants of the car — both 15-year-old boys — to hospital.

Police said one of the 15-year-old survivors sustained life-threatening injuries and the other one— who was driving the car—was hospitalized with minor injuries.

“Impairment is not believed to be a factor of this collision, however members of the major crimes have assumed carriage of the criminal component of this investigation,” Saskatoon police spokesperson Joshua Grella told CTV News in April.
