A Kenora detachment OPP officer charged with dangerous driving causing death has been ordered to stand trial. 

Const. Troy Bender was charged in November by the province's Special Investigations Unit. 

He was driving an OPP cruiser on Sept. 23 when it collided with a transport truck. 

Gloria Assin, 42, was killed. She was in the back seat in police custody at the time. 

A preliminary hearing was held, and the judge announced on Friday that there is enough evidence to proceed to trial. 

There's no word on when that trial will begin.
