Deborah Ann Flynn-Kirkham died Aug. 18, 2022, on Highway 17 near Markstay when a Tesla driven by Matthew McAlduff veered into her lane, resulting in a head-on collision.
Flynn’s vehicle ended up in the ditch and she was declared dead at the scene with extensive injuries. McAlduff had broken bones and a brain injury and the other passenger in the Tesla, his father, required surgery.
McAlduff pled guilty Monday to careless driving. In a joint submission, the defence and Crown suggested a penalty of $5,000 plus court costs, and a two-year driving ban.
Before the plea was accepted, however, the victim’s family submitted victim impact statements, including her fiancé, Keith Kirkham.
Her family spoke about what a happy time it was that summer, with the long-awaited wedding of Keith and Deborah just around the corner.
