Man receives four-year sentence for fatal car crash

A man has been sentenced to four years in prison for charges relating to a fatal crash on Bank Street and Laurier Avenue that occurred last October, reported CFRA.

Adam Prevost, 20, was driving over the posted speed limit and ran a red light, in an attempt to flee from police, according to CFRA’s report.

His car crashed into Alan Seguin’s vehicle, killing the 54-year-old. 

Prevost was determined to be driving while intoxicated.

He was charged and convicted on Thursday by the Ontario Court of Justice for criminal negligence causing death and for refusing a breathalyzer test, according to the Ottawa Citizen.

Prevost was credited with six months for pre-trial custody, so he will serve three-and-a-half years in prison, reported the Ottawa Citizen.
