The offender pled guilty to dangerous operation causing bodily harm and failing to stop at the scene of an accident after striking a pedestrian in an underground parking garage while driving unlicensed.
The victim suffered profound, life-altering physical and psychological injuries.
The Crown sought 18 to 22 months of actual incarceration, while the defence sought a suspended sentence or fine.
Emphasizing denunciation and general deterrence, the court imposed a 12-month conditional sentence, comprising 9 months for dangerous driving and 3 months consecutive for failing to remain, along with a driving prohibition.
