Driving 138 km/h in a 50 zone, Dale Cameron Neisz's blood-alcohol level was nearly twice the legal limit when he lost control, wrapping his car around a tree and killing his passenger, court heard Monday. Kanaye Renfrew, 30, died in the July 2016 crash, leaving behind her husband and two young children. On Monday, Justice Jolaine Antonio accepted Neisz's guilty plea to charges of drunk driving causing death and drunk driving causing bodily harm. Neisz was driving his Ford Fusion, Renfrew was the front passenger and her friend was in the back as they drove east on Memorial Drive N.W. The other passenger suffered "severe, life-threatening, traumatic injuries that have required extensive rehabilitation and relearning due to brain trauma," reads the document.
