Two transport trucks and three passenger vehicles were involved in the crash, which occurred about 30 kilometres west of downtown Kingston and 45 kilometres east of downtown Belleville.
The driver of one of the passenger vehicles was killed, while two other people were injured.
The accused was arrested May 8 and released from custody following a bail hearing. He is scheduled to appear in court in Greater Napanee on June 3.
