Erika Gebhardt of Port Coquitlam was handed a 10-day jail sentence, a $2,000-fine and a two-year driving prohibition, on Monday (Jan. 22) in Chilliwack Law Courts for driving without due care and attention in the 2021 crash that killed 56-year-old Alfonso Tejero.
Gebhardt, 28, was sobbing so hard after the jail sentence was delivered by Justice Georgia Docolas, she needed assistance to leave the courtroom.
