Love of animals leads to road death conviction

A  Montreal woman is guilty of negligence causing death and dangerous driving for stopping her car on a Quebec highway to “rescue” and take home some ducklings she saw by the side of the road. Her car was stopped in the left lane of a highway south of Montreal when a motorcyclist and his young daughter, riding as a pasenger, slammed into the back of the vehicle in 2010. They both died. The woman, Emma Czornobaj, has no prior record of any kind. She will be sentenced in August. Canadian Press
