VIDEO: 6 years in jail for drunk driver responsible for fatal hit & run in Parksville
NANAIMO — A provincial court judge issued six years in jail to a man in a highly disturbing case of impaired driving leading to the death of a long-time friend.
Judge Karen Whonnock issued the sentence in Nanaimo on Friday, Sept. 3 to Ryan John Grob, 36, following an emotional sentencing hearing process. The sentence includes an eight year driving prohibition taking effect when he’s released.
An agreed statement of facts outlined in court last month explained Grob was extremely intoxicated when his speeding lifted Ford F-350 hit and killed Spencer Alexander Moore, 32 in the early morning hours of Aug. 24, 2019 on Hirst Ave. in Parksville.
Moore was on Hirst Ave. when he was hit and then dragged along the street by Grob’s truck, which did not stop at the scene.
