In December, Christopher Hamilton, 39, was found guilty of dangerous driving causing death.
Justice Lynne Leitch told the court Hamilton disobeyed the rules of the road and had been speeding.
“I found that Mr. Hamilton’s driving was dangerous and caused the fatal injuries,” she said.
Leitch added, “Mr. Hamilton’s conduct was no momentary lapse in judgement, he had a cavalier attitude towards those who share the road, disobeyed traffic signs…his vehicle was overloaded.”
When speaking about the life that was lost Justice Leitch said, “Mr. Hamilton was totally responsible for Ms. Jones death…he stole the future from her.”
