The defendant was charged with failing to stop for a red light contrary to Section 144(18) of the Highway Traffic Act.
The charge arose from a motor vehicle collision at the intersection of Main Street and Queen Street in Brampton on April 10, 2015.
The defendant claimed she had a green light when she proceeded through the intersection; the Crown presented evidence from an independent witness and post-accident observations of traffic light functionality.
The court applied the W.D. analysis and found the defendant's evidence of a green light was not credible and did not raise a reasonable doubt.
The court convicted the defendant.
