B.C. woman given 37 months in jail for crash that killed 22-year-old

SURREY, B.C. – A sentence of just over three years in prison has been handed to a woman who pleaded guilty for the drunk driving crash that killed a promising 22-year-old softball player in Surrey, B.C.

A provincial court judge in Surrey has sentenced Natasha Warren to 37 months behind bars for the collision that took the life of Kassandra Kaulius in May of 2011.

Warren had been drinking heavily before she got behind the wheel of a vehicle that rammed Kaulius’ car in an intersection, killing the woman instantly.

In addition to the prison term, Warren has also been stripped her of her drivers licence for eight years.

Kassandra’s mother, Markita Kaulius, says she’d hoped the sentence would have been even longer given the severity of the crash.

She says Warren will eventually be out of prison after serving a bit of time, but the Kaulius family will be serving a life sentence. (CKNW,News1130)
