A 67-year-old man has been charged in a head-on crash south of Aylmer that claimed the life of a Bayham woman last December.

A vehicle heading east crossed over the centre line into the westbound lanes colliding with an oncoming vehicle on John Wise Line between Rogers Road and Imperial Road around 5:20 p.m. on December 23 of last year, Elgin OPP said.

Susana Peters, 62, of Bayham, a passenger in the westbound vehicle, was rushed to hospital where she later died from her injuries. The drivers of both vehicles were also hurt.
