VERNON, B.C. — Charges have been laid in a fatal car surfing incident in Vernon.

27 year old Justin Martyn of Spallumcheen died in June 2016 after a car he had been riding on went off Tronson Road and rolled.

Byron James Walterhouse, born in 1976, has been charged with criminal negligence causing death, dangerous driving causing death, and failure to stop at an accident causing death.

He appeared in provincial court in Vernon Thursday, and will be back Nov. 30 after being given time to consult with counsel.
