A Mississauga man has been sentenced to three years for the January 2020 death of a beloved Port Credit-area volunteer who was struck and killed while operating her electric mobility scooter in a bike lane along Dixie Road.
“It is very clear that the impact of this offence would be significant throughout the Port Credit community,” Durno said before sentencing Buffan. His sentence came out of a joint agreement between the Crown and defence counsel, Durno noted. Black box data pulled from Buffan’s Honda Civic shows that he was driving about 20 km/h faster than the posted speed limit and that the vehicle suddenly careened off the roadway before impact, Durno said.
According to video surveillance footage, Buffan checked the damaged car for about 90 seconds and then drove off despite severe front-end damage including a shattered windshield and the airbag being deployed, Durno said. He was arrested 12 hours later, at his residence.Buffan claimed he blacked out and doesn’t remember much, Durno said, adding that there is some indication that Buffan might have been intoxicated at the time.
3 years that's all?
Yes, this 'harsh' sentence will deter others from hit and run. How many you did not catch? Considering this no punishment, those who have it in them, will drive away if they hit someone. If they knew 10 yrs plus is what you'd get vs if you stay maybe no jail at all, most wd stay.
