Accused sentenced to 5 years in prison for impaired driving causing death and bodily harm.
The accused pleaded guilty to impaired driving causing death, impaired driving causing bodily harm, driving over 80, and breach of an undertaking.
While on bail for a previous impaired driving charge and bound by a condition not to consume alcohol, the accused drove with a blood alcohol concentration over three times the legal limit.
He drove in the wrong lane on a highway, colliding head-on with a vehicle driven by an 18-year-old, killing him, and then colliding with another vehicle, injuring its driver.
The court accepted a joint submission, sentencing the accused to 5 years in prison and imposing a 10-year driving prohibition, emphasizing denunciation and general deterrence.
