Ontario man found guilty in impaired driving crash that killed Uber passenger – Toronto [Video]

The man accused of crashing into an Uber in Brampton, Ont., and killing its passenger while drunk has been found guilty by a jury of all seven charges he was facing.

Akamjot Sandhu was accused of dangerous driving and impaired driving causing death, among other charges, in the death of Matthew Cruz almost three years ago.

On Sept. 11, 2021, just before 12:30 a.m., Cruz was in an Uber on his way home from work when it was involved in a collision. He was pronounced dead in hospital.

“The thing is, he normally gets a bus home but he took an Uber that night,” said Zak Cruz, Matthew’s older brother.
