A man who was charged in a fatal crash that killed a woman near Macleod Trail in August is now facing second degree murder charges.

Kristoffer Del Campo, 30, was originally charged with manslaughter in the death of Lacey Manion on August 12, 2013.

Manion, 33, died of blunt force trauma after she was hit by a vehicle on a street near 42 Ave and Macleod Trail S.E.

Manion had been in a relationship with the accused and was a passenger in the vehicle before she got out and was run over.

Del Campo remains in police custody and will be back in court on October 4, 2013.
