Alleged drunk driver testifies he has no memory of deadly crash

TORONTO – The man on trial for impaired driving causing the deaths of a father and daughter says he doesn’t remember anything about the fatal crash.

Sabastian Prosa, 21, took the stand during day three of his trial and told the court that he has no memory of what happened during the early morning hours of Aug. 6, 2012 when he got behind the wheel of his GMC Envoy, drove in the wrong direction on Highway 427 and collided head-on with the minivan carrying Jayantha Neil Wijeratne and his 16-year-old daughter Eleesha.

“I consumed four drinks at a friend’s house. Other than that I don’t recall,” Prosa told the court when asked how many drinks he had with friends the night of the incident.

Prosa says he attended a music festival earlier in the day then went to a friends house for drinks before heading to the Skybar at the Guvernment nightclub in downtown Toronto. He says he has no memory of what happened after until he woke up in hospital the night of the crash.

Prosa had double the legal limit of alcohol in his blood. According to an agreed statement of facts, Prosa told a paramedic responding to the fatal crash scene that he “drank alot.”

Prosa was 19 years old at the time of the crash. He had a G2 licence which has zero tolerance on alcohol.

“If I drank I would never drive,” Prosa testified Wednesday.

He added that he did not drink more than usual that night and had never suffered blackouts before.

“I have reason to believe something was put in my drink,” Prosa told the court.

During cross-examination Prosa told the crown that he doesn’t remember what or how much he drank or where the nightclub he went to was located because he’s “bad with directions.”

He has pleaded not guilty to all twelve charges against him including impaired driving causing death.

His lawyers want the case thrown out because of lost evidence which they argue prevents them from independently testing Prosa’s blood sample, a violation of his Charter Rights.

The trial continues Thursday.
