A Bracebridge court recently heard that a Lake of Bays driver had consumed alcohol before crashing into a snowbank.
Appearing last month, Jackson Cain, 20, pled guilty to careless driving stemming from an incident that occurred Feb 19, 2023.
Crown Willow Petersen said in the early morning hours police were called to a Lake of Bays residence. Court heard that Cain had been following someone in his car while in an intoxicated state. Cain subsequently crashed into a snowbank and abandoned his vehicle.
The defence said they would not agree to all of the facts as read, but did agree that Cain had alcohol in his system.
Cain was sentenced to a $1,000 fine and 12 months probation during which time he will need to have an interlock system installed in his vehicle.
