A Barrie judge found Andrew Fallows, resident of Sebright, Ont.
guilty earlier this week for his involvement in a crash that caused the death
of Shania Slater, 18. The accident happened in 2014 in
Oro-Medonte on Highway 11, 3 a.m. in the morning.
A jury found him guilty of:
- Impaired driving causing death
- Criminal negligence causing
death
- Impaired driving
- Dangerous operation causing
death
The verdict was reached after having heard that
his blood alcohol level was three times the legal limit, his blood
was on the steering wheel airbag and cracked windshield, and
Slater's blood and hair was on the passenger side.
However, some of the accounts of what happened don't add up.
While interviewed by police, Fallows said he was driving, but then
his story changed and he said a third person was driving. Defence
argued that Fallows wasn't reliable to tell the facts of the
story, seeing as he suffered from a head injury and memory
loss.
