The accused was charged with 18 driving-related offences arising from a rear-end collision on the Queen Elizabeth Way in which five occupants of the struck vehicle suffered bodily harm.
The Crown alleged dangerous driving, impaired driving, and driving with excess blood alcohol.
The court found the accused not guilty of dangerous driving but guilty of all counts of impaired operation and driving with excess blood alcohol.
The court rejected the defence theory that the struck vehicle moved into the accused's path, finding instead that the accused misjudged the distance while attempting to pass and that his impairment caused the collision.
