There’s another delay in the beginning of the trial of a Burlington man charged in a fatal collision in Stratford.
The Stratford Beacon Herald reports that the lawyer for 19-year-old Favian Lee-Allert told a judge on Monday that he has a judicial pretrial scheduled for Tuesday with the assistant Crown attorney over the case.
Lee-Allert faces seven charges, including impaired driving causing death, in the fatal collision that left 19-year-old Eric Millar from Stratford dead with the charges yet to be tested in court.
Lee-Allert’s lawyer asked for a March 11th return date which was granted by the judge, it’s the fifth delay the lawyer has asked for in the case.
Millar was pronounced dead in hospital after a crash around 3:30 a.m. on October 28th last year in the intersection of Embro Road and Erie Street while two other people were taken to hospital in fair condition and later released.
Police say Lee-Allert was driving a Chrysler 300 westbound on Embro Road when it struck a boulevard, went across Erie Street and ended up on a lawn on the northwest side of the street.
