CALGARY – A Calgary judge has found a man guilty of dangerous driving causing the death of his 17-year-old daughter.

Michael Shaun Bomford, who is 55, was also convicted of dangerous driving causing bodily harm and driving with a blood alcohol level above the legal limit.

Bomford had originally been charged with impaired driving causing death and impaired driving causing bodily harm in the October 2016 crash.

His trial heard that Bomford was driving his daughter, Meghan, and her 16-year-old friend, Kelsey Nelson, to get police checks so they could be ringette coaches.

Court heard he was going more than 30 km/h over the speed limit on a major Calgary boulevard when he lost control of his SUV and it rolled into the median.
