The accused pleaded guilty to impaired driving causing death, impaired driving causing bodily harm, driving over 80, and breach of an undertaking.
While on bail for a previous impaired driving charge and bound by a condition not to consume alcohol, the accused drove with a blood alcohol concentration over three times the legal limit.
He drove in the wrong lane on a highway, colliding head-on with a vehicle driven by an 18-year-old, killing him, and then colliding with another vehicle, injuring its driver.
The court accepted a joint submission, sentencing the accused to 5 years in prison and imposing a 10-year driving prohibition, emphasizing denunciation and general deterrence.
