The accused pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing bodily harm.
The Crown sought 60 to 90 days imprisonment on an intermittent basis, while defence counsel sought a suspended sentence with probation.
The court imposed a 60-day intermittent sentence (served on weekends over approximately five months), three years probation with 100 hours of community service, and a three-year driving prohibition.
The court balanced the serious nature of the offence and the need for denunciation and general deterrence against the offender's personal circumstances, remorse, and rehabilitation prospects.
