A judge has found that a man who pled guilty to four counts of dangerous driving causing death in connection with a Brampton crash that killed a mother and her three daughters had over the legal limit of THC in his blood on the day of the collision, but has reserved judgment as to whether his ability to drive was impaired.
It was on June 18 last year that 36-year-old Karolina Ciasullo and her three daughters — six-year-old Klara, three-year-old Lilianna, and one-year-old Mila — were driving near Torbram Road and Countryside Drive when they were struck by an Infiniti G35. All four died as a result of the crash. He has pleaded not guilty, however, to four counts of impaired driving causing death. His lawyers have also launched a constitutional challenge to the law as it relates to impairment by drugs.
Caponecchia found that Robertson had consumed an unknown amount of cannabis between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. on the morning of the crash, but said it was not clear whether he was experiencing the impairing effects of the drug when he caused the collision at approximately 12:15 p.m. “It is my overall assessment that Mr. Robertson's ability to operate a motor vehicle was probably and most likely impaired by drug on June 18, 2020. Yet such a conclusion is not proof beyond a reasonable doubt,” the judge wrote.
“The suspect vehicle proceeds to mount the sidewalk and crash into planters and two garbage cans outside a coffee shop located at the northeast corner of Kennedy Rd and Dougall Ave.,” the judge wrote in her decision.
