Teen Driver Faces Serious Sentence | Calgary News

A 14-year-old driver faces serious sentencing after a violent crash on Idylwyld Drive in Saskatoon, where they were driving a stolen SUV erratically, causing a fire and severe injuries to an 82-year-old victim. The prosecution seeks 10 months in a secure facility plus probation, citing prior assault and the gravity of the harm. Defense argues for time served, probation, and a curfew, highlighting recent autism and oppositional defiant disorder diagnoses—and the teen’s plan to enter treatment post-release. A 24-year-old passenger pleaded guilty to being in the stolen vehicle and received time served. Sentencing is set for this Friday as the court weighs medical, psychological, and legal factors in a deeply troubling case.
