A truck driver has pleaded guilty to dangerous driving charges in a crash that killed a former Canadian Olympic figure skater in Melancthon Township, north of Shelburne, Ont., nearly three years ago.
Court staff in Orangeville, Ont., confirm Sukhwinder Sidhu pleaded guilty Tuesday to dangerous driving causing death and dangerous driving causing bodily harm in the incident that killed Alexandra Paul, 31, and injured her baby boy.
The collision took place in August 2023, when police say a transport truck entered a construction zone and crashed into a lineup of stopped cars.
Seven vehicles were involved.
Paul competed as an ice dancer with her partner and eventual husband, Mitchell Islam, before she retired from competitive skating in 2016.
The pair won multiple international medals, claimed three Canadian Championship medals and competed at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games.
