The accused pleaded guilty to careless driving causing death after a momentary lapse of attention resulted in her vehicle striking and killing an elderly pedestrian.
The court accepted a joint submission from the Crown and defence, emphasizing the regulatory nature of the offence, the accused's lack of prior record, her genuine remorse, and the tragic consequences of the collision.
The accused was sentenced to a $2,500 fine, a victim fine surcharge, and a 12-month probation order with restricted driving privileges and community service.
