Guilty pleas are expected soon in yet another tragic death due to drunk driving.
Twenty-four-year-old Joshua Burt is charged with impaired and dangerous driving causing the death of 42-year-old Brad Kerrivan.
Kerrivan’s vehicle was struck head-on on Pitts Memorial a year ago this month.
The court was told this morning that the Crown and defence are working on a resolution that will result in guilty pleas being entered in late June. It will mark the fourth case since January where a drunk driver survived a crash that killed someone else. In two cases, the victims were girlfriends of the drivers—Jonathan Nash, who got five and a half years in prison, and Tyler Harding, who has yet to be sentenced.
In early January, 53-year-old Doug Skiffington was sentenced to three and a half years for a collision that killed a man on a motorcycle near Jamestown.
Burt, meanwhile, is due in court June 27 to formally enter pleas and set dates for the sentencing phase.
