The accused applied to strike his guilty plea to impaired driving following an incident in which he drove through a red light at high speed and collided with a TTC bus.
The accused argued his plea was involuntary because he was unable to obtain an adjournment to secure a witness he believed would assist the defence.
The court found the plea was valid, informed, and voluntary.
The accused had received written instructions, conducted a proper plea inquiry on the record, and admitted the facts as alleged by the Crown.
The court dismissed the application and proceeded to sentencing.
