‘Five years is nothing’: Chatham woman sentenced in crash that claimed two lives

A 41-year-old Chatham woman has been sentenced to five years in jail after she pleaded guilty earlier this year to drug impaired driving after a crash that killed an elderly couple from Sarnia in 2020.

The collision took place on March 8, 2020 around 4:35 p.m. on St. Clair Road between Border Road and Heritage Line near Wallaceburg, Ont.

“It’s not a lot,” said Heather Hills, the daughter of the deceased outside the courthouse. “We actually were expecting, like maybe five years per count, per person. But no. Five years is nothing.”
