The offender was convicted by a jury of two counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm and two counts of failure to remain at the scene of an accident after rear-ending a motorcycle at high speed and fleeing.
The collision caused severe, life-altering injuries to the two victims.
The court considered the offender's difficult background, lack of alcohol involvement, and the automatic deportation consequence he faced.
The court sentenced the offender to 12 months for dangerous driving and 6 months consecutive for failing to remain, totaling 18 months in custody, along with a 5-year driving prohibition.
