The accused was charged with impaired driving causing death and bodily harm, driving over 80 causing death and bodily harm, and criminal negligence causing death and bodily harm following an ATV accident.
The accused drove an ATV not meant for passengers with two passengers, one without a helmet, after consuming alcohol.
The ATV crashed in a ditch, seriously injuring one passenger and causing the death of the other.
The court acquitted the accused of the over 80 charges due to evidence of bolus drinking raising a reasonable doubt.
However, the court found the accused was impaired and that her series of negligent decisions constituted a marked and significant departure from the standard of a reasonable person.
The accused was found guilty of impaired driving causing bodily harm and death, and criminal negligence causing bodily harm and death.
