The accused was charged with two counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm following a severe collision.
The accused, while driving with four passengers, accelerated to a speed grossly in excess of the posted limit, aggressively passed another vehicle on the right, and lost control of his vehicle, colliding head-on with an oncoming car.
The court applied the modified objective test for dangerous driving and found that the accused's driving constituted a marked departure from the standard of care expected of a reasonable person.
The accused was found guilty.
