An Ontario truck driver who avoided Canadian authorities for more than nine months after allegedly causing a crash that killed a Manitoba mother and her eight-year-old daughter when he drove through a stop sign last year has been granted bail.

Navjeet Singh, 26, was released with conditions including surrendering his passport and driver's licence, not occupying the driver's seat of a vehicle, living at a specified address in Ontario and reporting weekly to police in Manitoba, following a contested bail hearing before provincial court Judge Michael Clark on Aug. 28.

Singh was arrested a week earlier at Toronto's Pearson International Airport, after he arrived in Canada on an Ethiopian Airlines flight, police said at the time.
