A 14-year-old boy has been sentenced to 300 days for a stolen SUV crash on Idylwyld Drive that severely injured 82-year-old Doug Bremner.
A teen who caused a major Saskatoon crash that severely injured an 82-year-old man has been sentenced to secure custody. The 14-year-old cannot be named under a youth publication ban.
Crash Injuries and Guilty Pleas
On May 5, the teen was driving a stolen black SUV on Idylwyld Drive when he crossed the median and crashed into a white van driven by Doug Bremner. Bremner suffered third-degree burns and multiple broken bones. He was airlifted to Edmonton for treatment. The teen pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing bodily harm, possession of stolen property over $5,000 and failing to stop while being pursued by a police officer.
The defence sought a sentence that would allow the teen to remain in the community, but Judge Lisa Watson imposed a custodial sentence. The teen was sentenced to 300 days - 200 days in secure custody, followed by 100 days of community supervision. Victim impact statements detailed how the crash affected Bremner and his family. Before the crash, court heard Bremner was the primary caregiver for his wife, who is battling cancer.
A Saskatoon judge has sentenced a teen boy responsible for a fiery crash in the spring that severely injured another driver, with Laura Woodward reporting on the case. The sentencing brings a conclusion to a case that drew attention for the severity of the injuries and the age of the driver. The crash occurred when the stolen black SUV crossed the median on Idylwyld Drive and collided with Bremner's white van, causing a fiery scene.
Sentence Details and Victim Impact
Bremner's recovery has been ongoing since the May 5 incident, which left him with third-degree burns and multiple broken bones. His airlift to Edmonton underscored the critical nature of his injuries immediately after the crash. The teen's guilty pleas covered dangerous driving causing bodily harm, possession of stolen property over $5,000 and failing to stop while being pursued by a police officer. Judge Lisa Watson's decision to impose secure custody followed defence arguments for a community-based sentence.
The 300-day sentence consists of 200 days in secure custody and 100 days of community supervision. Victim impact statements provided details of how the crash affected Bremner and his family. The court heard that Bremner was the primary caregiver for his wife, who is battling cancer, before the crash. The publication ban prevents naming the 14-year-old, in accordance with youth justice rules.
The case remains a reminder of the consequences of dangerous driving and stolen property offenses in the community.
