South Simcoe police investigate a fatal crash on Holland Street in Bradford in July 2022.

A Bradford man has received a five-year sentence for impaired driving causing the death of another local man in 2022.

Johnathon Harrington, 29, pleaded guilty in Bradford court on March 21, 2023, to charges of impaired driving causing death and failure to stop after a crash.

On July 16, 2022, at approximately 12:20 a.m., a 32-year-old Bradford man riding a motorcycle was struck and killed after being rear-ended by a vehicle on Holland Street.

Harrington was sentenced to five years in jail minus pre-sentence custody, which means he will serve approximately three years and seven months.

The judge also imposed a seven-year driving prohibition.
