Illustrative photoA toddler died and her father was badly injured in a Vancouver crash. Now the Supreme Court of Canada has ordered a new trial for the man who was behind the wheel, Global News BC reported.
The Supreme Court is the country's final court of appeal, so an order from it carries weight well beyond the case itself. For a family that lost a child, a new trial means the matter returns to a courtroom.
Global News BC's report, headlined as a Vancouver crash, described the collision as deadly and said the toddler's father was badly injured.
The Supreme Court of Canada posts its judgments on its website, where the full decision in the case would appear.
