A bus driver employed by the Toronto Transit Commission was charged with failing to stop at a red light and careless driving following a collision with a pedestrian that resulted in death.
The defendant was operating a bus that struck and killed a pedestrian at an intersection controlled by traffic signals.
The Crown presented three civilian witnesses and an expert in collision reconstruction.
The defence called the defendant and an expert in driving instruction.
The court found the defendant not guilty of both charges, determining that the Crown failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant ran a red light, and that the defendant's driving did not constitute careless driving under the applicable legal standard.
