A Poundmaker First Nation man has been sentenced to three years in a federal jail as the result of a car accident which killed his best friend last summer.
Robert Wilfred Badger pleaded guilty to three charges including impaired driving causing the death of Ryan James Favel and obstruction of justice.
On Monday, he was sentenced to four years for these charges minus one year for time already served.
On the night of July 19, 2012, a car driven by Badger flipped over on Hwy 40 and ended up in a nearby ditch which was filled with water.
A police officer was flagged down and eventually able to pull Favel out of the ditch.
However, paramedics were unable to revive him.
