The defendant was charged with impaired driving following a rear-end motor vehicle collision on March 8, 2018.
The Crown alleged the defendant was impaired by alcohol based on observations of the accident witness, police officer, and breath technician.
The defendant testified that the collision resulted from distraction caused by text messages from his wife, and that he had consumed approximately five beers over several hours at a dinner with friends but felt no effects of alcohol.
The court found that the Crown failed to prove impairment beyond a reasonable doubt and acquitted the defendant.
