Van driver in Georgia’s death “devastated”

The man charged with careless driving in the death of George Walsh was in court Monday. His lawyer, Chris Morris, said his client, Ranko Stupar, 50, is “devastated” by the girls’s death.  The man faces counts of careless driving and failure to stop at a red light.  He struck the child as he tried to right on a red light onto Millwood Rd. off of McRae Drive, a turn that would have taken him in the direction of Bayview Ave.  Stupar stayed at the scene of the accident. Georgia was the daughter of  Leaside residents John Walsh and his wife.  The concern about traffic is at fever pitch following the death.  It has inspired a large campaign of lawn signs which now can be seen through many parts of the city, an indication of the concern felt by parents everywhere. Stupar’s next appearance is on Oct. 2. when he is expected to receive copies of the Crown’s evidence supporting the charges. A charge of careless driving carries a maximum penalty of a $2,000 fine, six months in jail and a licence suspension of two years.
