Filip Grkovski is on trial for a number of charges relating to a fatal boat crash in Toronto in 2022 .

A passenger on board an ill-fated motorized pleasure craft said he took the wheel of the boat just minutes before the fatal crash.

Edward Denkha testified he consumed a maximum of six drinks during the seven-hour boat ride.

He told court he had a boating licence but said he had only ever driven a smaller boat before.
