In her poignant letter to the court, Penny Cousard’s mother questioned “how can a human being leave another human being on the side of the road to die by themselves? My heart is broken because I wasn’t there to hold her as she died.”
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.
