The accused was charged with dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm, as well as criminal negligence causing death and bodily harm, arising from a motor vehicle collision on June 18, 2017.
Following a confrontation at a quarry where the accused was threatened, he fled in a vehicle with three young women as passengers.
While driving at speeds up to 183 km/h on an 80 km/h rural highway, he ignored repeated pleas from his passengers to slow down.
The vehicle crashed 2.7 km from the quarry, killing two passengers and injuring a third.
The court found the accused guilty of all charges, rejecting his argument that his conduct was justified by a reasonable belief in imminent peril, as the threat had passed and he had been informed by his passengers that no one was following them.
