The offender pleaded guilty to criminal negligence causing death after driving at extreme speeds while impaired by alcohol and drugs, resulting in a fatal head-on collision.
The Crown sought 6 to 8 years imprisonment, while the defence sought 5 years.
The court weighed significant aggravating factors, including the offender's extreme risk-taking and the devastating impact on the victim's family, against mitigating factors such as his youth, guilty plea, and documented mental health issues.
The court sentenced the offender to 5 years in custody, plus an 8-year driving prohibition and a DNA order.
