Batraki struck and killed a motorcyclist in Kelowna in 2012. He pleaded guilty under the Motor Vehicle Act to driving without due care and attention but didn’t face any criminal code charges.
He apologized in the courtroom to the victim’s family.
“I’m terribly, terribly sorry for what happened. I wish there was something I could do more. I’m just terribly sorry,” Batraki said.
