The accused was charged with dangerous driving causing bodily harm and death after his vehicle struck a group of cyclists standing on the shoulder of the road.
The court found that the accused engaged in a pattern of dangerous driving, including tailgating, excessive speed, and failing to pay attention to his surroundings.
The court rejected the accused's testimony that he was forced to make a split-second decision to avoid a collision, finding instead that his driving constituted a marked departure from the standard of care of a reasonable person.
The accused was found guilty on both counts.
