The truck driver responsible for the deaths of an Amherstburg woman and her son last summer will have to wait a few more weeks to hear his fate in a Chatham courtroom.
A sentencing hearing for Manjit Parmar was previously scheduled to take place on October 10, but it has since been pushed back to October 29.
At that time, he could be handed a sentence of 18 months in jail and another year of parole for causing the collision on Highway 401 in July of 2017 that claimed the lives of 42-year-old Lacie Brundritt and her 14-year-old son Kyle. Both the crown and prosecution agreed on the sentence and now the judge has to determine whether Parmar will have to submit his DNA to the identification database.
Parmar was charged after the transport truck he was driving smashed into the back of a pickup truck on the highway near Dillon Road in Chatham-Kent at around 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 30, 2017.
The collision caused a six-vehicle pile-up and killed Lacie and her son Kyle. Michael Brundritt, 39, had to be airlifted to hospital with serious injuries. Kyle's 12-year-old brother, Evan Brundritt, was rushed to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Parmar pleaded guilty to two counts of dangerous driving causing death and three counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm in July 2018.
