Crown prosecutor Tanner Daniels said results of Weiss’s toxicology report indicated there weren’t any drugs in his system at the time of the crash.
Daniels also said there was insufficient evidence to suggest Weiss drove dangerously and medical distress couldn’t be ruled out as a factor in the crash.
