The accused pleaded guilty to one count of dangerous driving causing death and two counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm after his tractor trailer collided with multiple vehicles in a construction zone on Highway 401.
The accused had falsified his logbooks and was driving almost double the permitted hours.
The court weighed the mitigating factors of his guilty plea and youth against the severe aggravating factors, including the death of a young mother, injuries to others, and his callous disregard for safety regulations.
The accused was sentenced to 3 years in a federal penitentiary and a 3-year driving prohibition.
