An Antigonish man is facing additional charges after two teens died in a crash on Nova Scotia's Highway 4 in November.
William Lionel Edmund Byron Fogarty, 30, was initially charged with two counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death.
RCMP have now laid two additional charges of impaired driving by drugs causing death against Fogarty in connection with the fatal crash.
Police say Fogarty was behind the wheel of his 2002 Crown Victoria when he collided with a 1994 Mustang along a curve in Tracadie on Nov. 24.
The driver of the Mustang, 16-year-old Kory Mattie of Havre Boucher, was pronounced dead at the scene.
His friend and passenger, 17-year-old Nicholas Landry of Tracadie, died a short time later in hospital. Fogarty received minor injuries in the crash.
Police say road and weather conditions were clear at the time of the crash.
Fogarty remains in police custody. He is due to appear in Antigonish provincial court on Feb. 2.
