Have you heard? The woman who stopped for ducks was convicted of criminal negligence. When 25-year-old Emma Czornobaj stopped her car on a highway near Montreal to save a family of crossing ducks, little did she know her actions would result in two fatalities.
According to an article in the Toronto Sun, 50-year-old Andre Roy was riding his Harley-Davidson with his 16-year-old daughter Jessie when it smashed into Czornobaj's Honda Civic in 2010.
The jury found Czornobaj guilty of negligence for parking her car in the left lane of Highway 30 while she crouched to assist a group of eight ducks.
With just three years' driving experience, Czornobaj failed to put on her hazard lights, yet it was also found that the motorcyclist was speeding at between 113 km/h and 129 km/h.
A dangerous driving charge could result in a 14-year sentence for Czornobaj.
