VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – A Delta woman sent to prison for killing a four-year-old girl while driving drunk is out, 10 months early.
Six years ago, Carol Berner lost control while drunk at the wheel on a rural road, crashing into Alexa Middelaer and injuring the child’s aunt Daphne Johanson.
Berner was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison, but is now out on statutory release.
“She’s not to consume, purchase or possess alcohol,” says Patrick Storey with the Parole Board of Canada. “She’s to follow a treatment plan or treatment program to be arranged by her parole supervisor.”
Berner is also prohibited from trying to contact Johanson or the Middelaer family.
“She’s required not to enter establishments where the primary source of income is derived from the sale or consumption of alcohol,” adds Storey. “She’s not to own or operate a motor vehicle.”
Had Berner served her full sentence, she would have stayed behind bars until September 3, 2015.
