Yesterday's blog outlined the incident that occurred on June 13, 2015, when Mitchell Irwin sped through an intersection, hit a cyclist and left the scene. The cyclist later passed away due to major head trauma.

Mitchell Irwin Sentenced To 4 Years Behind Bars, 6 Year Driving Ban

  • Criminal negligence causing death (sec. 220)
  • Failing to remain (sec. 252)
  • Violating bail conditions, which includes:
    • Communicating with two friends who were in the car at the time
    • Consuming alcohol

Irwin was sentenced yesterday for above hit-and-run. He was sentenced to:

  • 4 years in prison
  • 6 year driving ban (following his prison sentence)

This was given out on Monday after pleading guilty last Friday to dangerous driving causing the death of Adam Excell, and failing to remain at the scene and breaching his bail conditions.

Excell's family still does not believe that justice was served after hearing the sentence. They believe that "if you take someone's life while driving, you shouldn't be able to drive...you shouldn't have that privilege."
