A trial for a Maple Ridge man charged in connection with a drunk driving crash that killed his girlfriend will take place next year.
Nine days have been set aside for the court case, with proceedings set to begin in Port Coquitlam Provincial Court on May 28.
Trevor Livingston, 21, faces one court each of dangerous driving causing death, impaired driving causing death, and having a blood alcohol content over .08 while in care or control of vehicle.
Livingston is accused of being behind the wheel of a silver Audi on March 8, 2010, when it slammed into hydro pole in Pitt Meadows, killing 19-year-old Amanda Woodthorpe.
The Maple Ridge teen was removed from the crumpled wreck by people passing by. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Pitt Meadows fire department used the jaws of life to extract Livingston from the car. He was airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster with serious head and internal injuries.
Two passengers in the back seat – a 20-year-old man and 19-year-old woman – were also injured.
The four were returning home from a night out at Rooster’s Country Cabaret in Pitt Meadows.
