A driver, charged with impaired driving, has been sentenced to seven years behind bars after two people were killed in a Cambridge crash.

On May 12, 2022, 21-year-old Justin Maurice was driving a Hyundai north on Hespeler Road when it collided with the side of a southbound Toyota. The Toyota rolled over, killing 51-year-old Randy Turenne of Cambridge in the crash.

A co-worker of Maurice’s, 30-year-old Alexander Brown from Pickering, was a passenger in the Hyundai. He was also killed.

Maurice suffered serious injuries and was taken to the hospital. Months later, he was charged with two counts of dangerous driving causing death and two counts of impaired operation causing death.

He pleaded guilty to the charges.

On Friday morning, Maurice was sentenced to seven years in jail and handed a driving prohibition for 10 years, minus the time he has already spent off the roads.

Maurice also cannot possess a weapon or ammunition.
