Two And A Half Years In Federal Prison For Pike

20-year-old Nicholas Pike will spend two and a half years in a federal penitentiary for his involvement in a car accident on Hillcrest Road that claimed the life of 15-year-old Kylee Wallace last June.

Pike found guilty of dangerous driving causing death after the car he was driving rolled over a steep embankment. Wallace died when she was thrown from the back of the car and pinned underneath the vehicle.

Reports say Pike was driving a minimum of 80 kilometres an hour when the car left the road, despite a speed limit of 50. The judge says he was also ignoring the weather conditions, which were wet and foggy.
