REGINA V R.S. [SUPREME COURT OF BRITISH COLUMBIA, KAMLOOPS]
R was originally charged with 2 counts of criminal negligence (one count of causing death and one count of causing bodily harm) following allegations that he drove his truck while driving well past his maximum hours and crashing into another vehicle. Following extensive resolution conversations with the Crown it was agreed by way of a joint submission that R would plead to the lesser offence of dangerous driving and serve a 2 year prison term, where he would be eligible for parole after 8 months.
