Png was charged with multiple offenses, including driving without a valid licence, driving without due care and attention causing death, and driving under the influence of drugs.
He also faces charges related to abandoning his vehicle and fleeing the scene. The woman he was travelling with is also under investigation for consuming a controlled drug and abetting the driver.
