The accused was charged with seven offences arising from a motor vehicle collision on August 29, 2010, on Six Nations Territory.
The charges included failing to comply with a recognizance, operating a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol causing bodily harm (four counts), and operating a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol causing death (two counts).
The court found that the accused was driving at excessive speed (100-120 kph in an 80 kph zone) while significantly impaired by alcohol (blood alcohol concentration between 66-144 mg/100mL), with defective vehicle brakes and tires, in foggy night conditions.
The other driver, who was also impaired, made a left turn into the accused's path.
The court convicted the accused on all counts, finding that his impaired driving was a significant contributing cause to the deaths of two passengers and injuries to three others.
