Traffic accident causing grave injury, 6 months suspended
In a crash where our client collided with an oncoming two-wheeler while turning left and the rider suffered grave injury, a suspended sentence was imposed.
How the case unfolded
Background
Our client turned left at a three-way junction without signals and collided with an oncoming motorized bicycle, and the rider suffered grave injury. Because the accident caused grave injury, insurance coverage alone could not prevent prosecution.
Issues and ruling
The court found the breach of care and its consequences serious, but took into account that the victim's side expressed no wish to punish, and suspended the sentence.
Outcome
Our client received 6 months' imprisonment suspended for 1 year.
