An 18-year-old passenger was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition but later died in hospital.
Another passenger, 21, suffered minor injuries in the crash.
The operator of the crane, a man in his 30s, was not hurt.
Burrows is charged with impaired driving causing death, impaired driving causing injury, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing injuries and driving while prohibited.
He is expected in court on April 11.
