The driver in a Boxing Day crash on Calgary’s Macleod Trail that killed a nine-year-old girl has plead guilty to robbery, fleeing police, and dangerous driving causing death.
Amanda Reitmeier was in Calgary Court Friday, where she was preparing to see the driver accused of killing her daughter Victoria for the first time.
Less than six months ago, on Boxing Day, Reitmeier and her daughters, Madison and Victoria, were heading to an appointment when their vehicle and four others were violently struck on Macleod Trail by a suspect fleeing from a robbery.
All three were rushed to hospital. Victoria didn’t survive.
Through her spokesperson Kelsey Morash, she describes what life has been like for the grieving family
“Ultimately they have been holding up as well as they can given the heinous circumstances they’ve been thrown into,” says Morash.
In court Friday, the Crown played footage of the crash captured on CPS body cameras and HAWCS helicopters.
Family members sobbed as Reitmeier held her face, rocking back and forth, visibly shaken watching the moment of impact for the first time.
They leaned on one another for comfort.
Just metres away the accused, Duane Nepoose, sat behind plexiglass.
He entered guilty pleas to multiple charges, including robbery, flight from police, and three counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm and death.
Victim impact statements and sentencing are scheduled for June 13.
