Guilty plea entered in death of flag-person

A guilty plea has been entered by the man responsible for the death of a construction site flagger in Mission more than two years ago.

Thor Michael Shay’s provincial court trial was due to start this morning in Abbotsford.

He’s now admitted he drove without due care and attention when he struck Don Cain along the Lougheed Highway in July of 2010.

He’s been banned from driving for one year and fined 15-hundred dollars.

The victim was a father of two.

Family and friends were upset a more serious charge wasn’t laid, but an agreed statement of fact from prosecutors indicates shay’s visibility was impaired by bright sunlight and a dirty windshield.
