Montreal woman jailed for deaths on the road – she had stopped her car to allow ducklings to pass

Emma Czornobaj of Montreal, Canada, was driving on the Quebec Highway when she suddenly saw a group of ducklings passing. In order to allow them to cross over safely, she braked her car and, as a result, a motorcycle that was behind her car crashed in to the rear.
The driver of the motorcycle was a 50-year-old man and he had a pillion rider, his daughter, a 16-year-old girl – both died on the spot.
The incident happened in 2010 and she has now been sentenced to 90 days in jail for causing the two deaths. She had already been convicted in June of two counts each of criminal negligence and dangerous driving causing death.
The woman admitted her mistake and added that she just wanted to pick up all these ducklings and put them in her car. As per orders, she would serve the jail time on the weekends. She has also been sentenced to 240 hours of community service, probation and banned from driving for 10 years.
Incidentally, the prosecutors had asked for a nine-month jail sentence.
