Just as Toronto Police are set to launch their annual anti-racing program created to stamp out the dangerous street competitions, two young men were killed Saturday in what police believe was a street race.
The two men died instantly after the compact car they were in slid off the road and crashed into a tree at Adelaide and Parliament Streets, crushing the passenger side of their Honda Civic. Police believe these deaths are the first to be attributed to street racing this year. The two drivers face serious charges.
Jason Kim, 20, and Sainchand Ryan Jariraj, 19, were both from Woodbridge. Kim was in the front passenger seat and Jariraj was in the rear. Police said the car belonged to Jariraj’s mother.
Authorities believe the car was travelling at 100 kilometres an hour on the downtown street before it collided with the tree.
Before participating in the deadly contest, police said a group of 12 people, all involved in the race, spent the night at the Limelight nightclub in the entertainment district. Police said the group left the club in two cars, Jariraj’s Civic and a Pontiac Sunbird. Six men were in the Civic at the time of the crash, two in the front and four in the back.
Van-Manh Truong, 21, of Windsor, and William Shin, 21, of Brampton, are charged with two counts of criminal negligence causing death and three of criminal negligence causing bodily harm.
