A sentencing hearing is underway in Surrey for the drunk driver who caused the death of 22-year-old softball player Kassandra Kaulius.
Family members and friends are wiping away tears as Crown counsel describes what happened on May 3, 2011.
He says Natasha Warren left her house in a white van after drinking, and crashed into Kaulius’ red BMW at 152 Street and 64 Avenue.
Court has heard Warren was travelling at 103 kilometers an hour and had ran the red light.
She also fled the scene.
Crown says Kaulius suffered ‘catastrophic’ injuries, including serious head trauma, and was pronounced dead in hospital.
Eight victim impact statements are set to be submitted at the hearing, some to be read aloud.
The maximum sentence in this case is life in prison.
