Massey Tunnel crash: 2-year jail sentence in "horrible and heartbreaking" deadly BC collision

There were tears of relief in a Richmond, B.C. courtroom on Wednesday as the wrong-way driver who caused a fatal crash in the George Massey Tunnel four years ago was sentenced.

Sundeep Singh Mann, 42, was sentenced to two years less a day after pleading guilty to dangerous driving causing death and dangerous driving causing bodily harm in the death of Ky Tran, 61, and serious injury to her husband. The collision happened around midnight on Sept. 2, 2020.

“The judge, I think she actually understood and read through all the victim impact statements,” said Lisa Tran, the victim’s daughter. “Our Canadian laws aren’t very good, and we just didn’t think she was going to give him that long. But she gave him what the Crown asked, and we are quite happy with it.”

In handing down the sentence, B.C. Provincial Court Judge Diana Vandor called the crash “horrible and heartbreaking,” noting Mann had six driving prohibitions on his record prior to the crash. But she also concluded Mann was genuinely remorseful and horrified at what he had done.
