A Canadian teenager held in Cuba following a car crash three months ago could be home soon.

Cody LeCompte, 19, has been in custody since April 29. The Simcoe teen was driving a rental car that was hit by a dump truck. LeCompte was told he could not leave Cuba until a court decided whether he'd be charged.

A meeting took place on Tuesday between government officials and the ranking Cuban representative at DFAIT headquarters to discuss the plight of many Canadians held in Cuba, including LeCompte.

The Cuban representative was told that delays in the case could influence Canadians considering Cuba as a tourist destination.

LeCompte may have been released already. Reports say he was required to make a bail payment of 2000 Cuban pesos, or about $80, and return to address the accident in court if required.
