On the morning of October 8th, 2016 Eric Sollosy, who grew up in Weyburn was driving to the Pharmacy in Regina with his Fiance Adrienne Gardiner, just before 1 a.m.

While they were stopped at a red light on the corner of Albert Street and 25th Avenue, 29-year-old Brendan Sugar was drunk behind the wheel of his vehicle as he failed to stop and crashed into the back of Sollosy's vehicle. Gardiner was killed instantly.

Last week was the sentencing of Sugar in Regina. He received a three-year prison sentence.

Sollosy is not impressed with the sentence.

"Frustrated, it's really frustrating. I think that sentencing for stuff like this is a joke. and I think until there become stiffer penalties, it won't stop," said Sollosy.

"The big thing comes down to sentencing. I think if there were stiffer mandatory punishments, people wouldn't do it."

Sollosy explained how the window was down and he could hear the loudness of the oncoming vehicle but didn't have time to do anything about it.

"When they first gave him the breathalyzer he was about two and a half times over the legal limit and that would have been half hour to forty-five minutes after the accident."

"When he was first arrested he originally faced I think it was nine criminal charges from the accident and then I think it went up to eleven."

"The crown and the defense ended up settling on pleading guilty on one charge and in essence dropping all the others."

Sollosy says that the penal system is a joke.

"The prosecution told me that I should be pleased with the result because according to the system, anything over a year per life is considered a harsh punishment."

It has been over 14 months since the accident.

Sugar gets the three-year sentence for over .08 causing death and the judge added on two one-year for over .08 causing harm to his passenger and Sollosy but these are concurrent which means they are served at the same time so the longest sentence is the three years, that is the length of time Sugar serves in total. Sugar will also be without a driving license for the first five years he is out of prison.

Sollosy added that Sugar will probably be out in less than two years.
