The accused stood trial for dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm after his tow truck collided with a car at an intersection, killing the driver and injuring the passenger.
The Crown alleged the accused was speeding and ran a red light.
Based on eyewitness testimony, physical evidence, accident reconstruction, and event data recorder information, the court found the accused was driving between 95-110 km/h in a 40 km/h zone and entered the intersection on a red light.
The court concluded this conduct was a marked departure from the standard of care of a reasonable person and found the accused guilty on both counts.
