CBC
A 44-year-old Regina man has been charged with one count of dangerous driving causing death after police allege he ran a red light, veered off the road and collided with a bus shelter, killing a young woman waiting inside.
Regina police say Biniam Emaha was driving a freight truck east on Dewdney Avenue when he ran a red light at the intersection with Elphinstone Street on Oct. 12, 2025.
After colliding with another vehicle, the freight truck Emaha was driving left the road and ran through a glass bus shelter with enough power to take down a utility pole, before it stopped several houses away, according to police.
Marvellous Ugochukwu, 19, had been waiting inside the bus shelter, on her way to work to help pay for her next semester’s tuition at the University of Regina. She died at the scene.
Emaha was charged following a four-month investigation led by the Regina Police Service's investigative collision analysis reconstruction team, police said in a Tuesday news release.
He appeared in provincial court in Regina on Tuesday afternoon.
Marvellous Ugochukwu first came to Regina from Nigeria as an international student in 2023, at age 17, and dreamed of becoming a neurosurgeon, her older sister, Miracle Ugochukwu, told CBC in an October interview.
The two sisters were best friends and did everything together before Marvellous's death, which devastated their family back home, Miracle said.
Dozens of members of Regina’s Nigerian community came together for a candlelight vigil to honour Marvellous a week after the crash.
