Impaired Driving Led to Tragedy on Highway 21 | Canada News

A woman has pleaded guilty to two counts of impaired driving causing death after a head-on crash on Highway 21 in Leduc County that killed Kean and Shirley Konchinew. Driving over four times the legal limit, she also had a prior offense for texting while intoxicated and drinking. The victims’ family, present in court, shared their devastating loss — Shirley’s husband grieving his wife and son, Kean’s mother raising four fatherless children. Forensic reports confirmed her dangerously high BAC, even hours post-crash, and though she suffered severe injuries including brain damage and a nearly severed foot, the court heard those were self-inflicted consequences of her choices. A sentencing date remains pending, but the memory of Kean and Shirley lives on, marked by crosses still standing where their lives were tragically stolen.
